Making a Mesh: A Primer on Istio Running on KuBo - Ramiro Salas, Pivotal
summary
Explains how Istio mounts a data plane of Envoy sidecars and a control plane (Pilot, Mixer, Istio-Auth) onto Kubernetes clusters created with Kubo/BOSH, with automatic sidecar injection and simple install commands; demonstrates mutual TLS and per-request telemetry/policy via Mixer, and cites real-world scale—100+ services on 10,000 VMs serving millions of req/s—so the pattern works today but remains young (limited federation, evolving plugins and SDN integration).
