Mircoservices the right way: an introduction to Istio

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Istio is shown as a Kubernetes-native service mesh that injects an Envoy sidecar proxy per pod and uses pilot, mixer and citadel to push config, telemetry and mTLS. A demo app with review services shows A/B routing by cookie sending JSON users to v2, a 15% canary to v3 via weighted routing, and a circuit breaker: 1s threshold with max concurrent 1 that flips to 5xx under stress. Distributed tracing (OpenTracing/Jaeger) surfaces per-service latencies; demos mostly work though a pod restart occurs.
