Istio, your K8S cluster best friend
summary
Istio claims to replace app-side resilience libraries and the Netflix stack by pushing retries, rate limits, pool ejection and fault injection into the proxy layer and demonstrates them working in demos. It uses Envoy proxies (data plane) and istiod/pilot (control plane), shows traffic mirroring and weighted canaries (10% → 50% → 100%), injects 10% 400 errors for chaos testing, enables mTLS with automatic cert rotation, and runs on containers and VMs with dashboards (Kiali, Grafana) and GKE/Anthos integration.
