We got to meet Michael from MeteorOps through one of our employees. We needed DevOps help and guidance and Michael and the team provided all of it from the very beginning. They did everything from dev support to infrastructure design and configuration to helping during Production incidents like any one of our own employees.

A bit about Istio

Things you need to know about Istio before using any Istio Consulting company

What is Istio?

Istio is a service mesh platform specifically designed for Kubernetes. It connects, secures, and manages microservices in containerized environments. It simplifies application deployment, monitoring, and scalability, handling tasks like traffic management, load balancing, and policy enforcement at the service mesh layer. Istio injects a sidecar proxy like Envoy alongside each service instance, enabling communication between services and providing features like request routing, telemetry collection, and access control. With a focus on consistent policy enforcement and robust observability, Istio ensures reliability and security in microservices architecture. As an open-source project, it allows users to customize the service mesh, making it a popular choice in the cloud-native ecosystem. In essence, Istio is fundamental for modern cloud-native application development, especially for Kubernetes environments.

What is Service Mesh?

Service mesh technology is a networking layer that facilitates communication between services in a distributed system. It simplifies the task of managing the underlying network infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on building and deploying applications without worrying about the complexities of network management. Service mesh also provides advanced security features such as traffic monitoring and encryption, ensuring the system is resilient and safeguarded against malicious attacks.

Why use Service Mesh?

Here are some reasons to use tools in the service mesh category:

  • Simplifies the management of networking infrastructure in a distributed system.
  • Provides advanced security features such as traffic monitoring and encryption.
  • Enables features like service discovery, load balancing, and traffic routing.
  • Enhances observability through detailed metrics and monitoring capabilities.
  • Increases resilience by enabling fault tolerance and handling network disruptions seamlessly.
  • Facilitates the adoption of microservices architecture and helps in deploying them at scale.
  • Offers platform independence and works with various languages and platforms.
  • Reduces development and maintenance costs by abstracting away the underlying infrastructure.
