Service mesh for Kubernetes microservices

Mesh Design

Conclusion

A service mesh decouples microservices from the underlying TCP/IP network, freeing developers from low-level interservice traffic concerns and providing opportunities to increase security, resilience, control, and observability of a microservice application. Istio is a comprehensive open source service mesh that's easy to deploy in a new or established Kubernetes cluster. Although its full-feature set cannot be covered in a single article, I hope I've given you enough here to pique your interest and show you how to take the first steps toward discovering the benefits possible with Istio.
