Get hands dirty: Istio, the first voyage

Good news everyone!

We are back with another workshops in Kubernetes series. This time we will learn why and how to setup secure and transparent networking for your microservices using Istio service mesh. As you probably noticed, managing networking in large and dynamic Kubernetes environment is hard. Your insight is limited and we still lack general purpose "best practices".
We will show you how Istio can help with configuring your network topology, gain observability and manage traffic destination for complex deployments of Kubernetes services.

What you will learn:

• Basic principles and Istio vocabulary
• How to enable Istio for Kubernetes pods
• How to control traffic
• Gathering and understanding metrics
• How to develop Istio friendly applications

As everything in "Get hands Dirty" series this session is a workshop, so do not forget to bring your laptops.
