Congratulations¶
Well-done on making it all the way to the end of the Istio 0 to 60 workshop!
In this workshop, you have covered a lot of ground!
Let's summarize. You have:
- Installed Istio
- Deployed an application
- Exposed the application to the internet (Ingress)
- Deployed and studied observability addons including Kiali, Zipkin, Prometheus, and Grafana
- Studied facets of service mesh security including mutual TLS and authorization policies
- Performed a traffic shifting exercise
- Circuit breakers
Istio has many more features whose scope is beyond the 0 to 60 workshop, including but not limited to:
- Fault injection
- Extensibility with WASM
- Egress gateways
- Onboarding VM Workloads
- Istio deployment models
We encourage you to dig deeper into the Istio docs yourself.
You might also be interested in the free courses offered at the Tetrate Academy, including Istio Fundamentals, and Envoy Fundamentals.
If you're interested in certification, check out the Istio Certified Associate exam.
Finally, if you're looking for a supported, tested, and secure Istio to run in production, check out the Tetrate Istio Subscription.
Thanks!
