In this project we will be setting up an EKS cluster from sratch, install Istio with the help of istio operators (CRD). Then install a sample app to test the capabilities of istio and use Istio for Traffic Management to the deployed application.
Istio is an open source service mesh that layers transparently onto existing distributed applications. Istio’s powerful features provide a uniform and more efficient way to secure, connect, and monitor services. Istio is the path to load balancing, service-to-service authentication, and monitoring – with few or no service code changes.
