Keynote: The Next Big Things for Istio
summary
Roadmap for Istio focuses on concrete changes: a split design with a fast node layer‑4 proxy plus a dedicated Waypoint/ambient layer‑7 proxy, mTLS and zero‑trust preserved, and Rust/Envoy work with Google that aims to cut proxy cost by ~3x and target up to 10x. Productized pieces include Glue Gateway, Glue Mesh and Glue Network (CNI + eBPF acceleration) plus GraphQL support for Envoy. Two of five Istio TOC seats come from Solo and Google collaboration and there’s measured operational and latency improvement claims.
