Kiali 2.0 (released Oct 2024) demonstrates observability and management for Istio Ambient Mesh by deploying the Bookinfo app, showing traffic graphs filtered by cTunnel telemetry or waypoint proxies, and surfacing mTLS status and pod protocols. Logs and traces get correlated to the waypoint proxy so spans reveal that a 80% 503 fault injection causes failures. The traffic wizard generates and validates Kubernetes Gateway API routing resources, and the mesh view shows control/data plane and waypoint details.
