Istio

Standard Istio vs Ambient Mesh comes down to: ✅ No more sidecars in Ambient ✅ Splitting L4 and L7 vs having it in the sidecar In this video, I break down the why behind Ambient Mesh and the full installation process. https://buff.ly/FqGGRCf #kubernetes #devops #platformengineering

☸️⛵ 𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲 🔗 𝗔𝗪𝗦) 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼 🛡️ In today’s enterprise landscape, 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 are no longer optional—they are essential for scalability, resiliency, and regulatory compliance. I recently worked on designing a 𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 that connects workloads across 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗞𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗔𝗞𝗦) and 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗞𝗦, powered by Istio 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝗵 and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)𝗞𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗣𝗜. 🔎 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱): 1️⃣ 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 → Seamlessly received and processed across clusters. 2️⃣ 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 → Endpoints shared between Azure and AWS. 3️⃣ 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗣𝗜 + 𝗜𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → HTTPRoutes (e.g., /hello, /) securely route traffic across environments. 4️⃣ 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → Services (A in Cluster 1, B + Echoserver in Cluster 2) interact transparently, as if they were in a single logical cluster. 5️⃣ 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 → Network 1 (Azure) and Network 2 (AWS) interconnected with policy-driven configuration. ✨ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀: ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: No single point of failure; workloads failover across clouds. ✅ 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Burst workloads into AWS or Azure dynamically. ✅ 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: Mutual TLS (mTLS) across service mesh ensures end-to-end encryption. ✅ 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Decoupled application layer, allowing services to run on any cloud. ✅ 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴: Gateway API adoption prepares organizations for the next-gen Kubernetes ingress/egress standard. 💡 This architecture enables enterprises to 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱-𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, aligning with digital transformation goals and governance needs. 🌍 In an era where 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸, hybrid multi-cluster designs like this empower organizations to 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. 👉 I’d love to hear from other cloud and DevSecOps professionals: How are you solving 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 in your organization? Have you adopted the 𝗞𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗣𝗜 yet, or still using Ingress? #Kubernetes #Istio #ServiceMesh #MultiCloud #AWS #Azure #DevOps #CloudArchitecture #HybridCloud

I haven’t posted much about Istio Ambient lately. Not because I stopped using it—quite the opposite. I’ve been running Ambient for all my AI agents, MCP servers, and apps, and I simply haven’t had to think about it. ✨ It just works. The mesh delivers its benefits effortlessly, no more 🐞 debugging. And that’s exactly the outcome we had in mind when we started Istio Ambient. 🚀

Excited to be speaking at Istio Day during Kubecon NA this fall with Michael Bolot about the work we've been doing to build a service mesh atop Istio for databases! Istio doesn't just stop at microservices, and while it’s not easy, we've found there are a lot of benefits to running a Service Mesh across the stack. I look forward to sharing some of our design decisions and some of the hiccups we’ve hit along the way. https://lnkd.in/ezxitrfm

Exploring kagent with Istio ambient mesh — Visualizing Traffic in Kiali. Ready to integrate your AI agents and MCP servers into Kubernetes and Istio ambient mesh? 🤔

Beyond excited 🎉 to be doing a live demo during the opening keynote of AI_dev with Mark Collier and Ricardo Rocha in beautiful Amsterdam 🇳🇱! Even more fun — I’ll be competing ⚡with my fellow Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) TOC member, Ricardo Rocha, who’s always 🔥 at delivering live demos! I’ll be showcasing agentgateway with LLMs, AI agents, MCP servers, Argo Project, Jaeger, Istio, and maybe a few other surprises! ✨ Check out the AI_dev schedule: https://lnkd.in/eqx5QCXR

Istio 1.27 is out! This release adds Gateway API Inference Extension support to help run AI workloads on Kubernetes. Ambient mode now supports multi-cluster deployments in alpha. Learn about these and many more features and bug fixes: https://lnkd.in/gRx5dEtb

Na última segunda-feira (23/06), participei de mais um meetup da Cloud Native São Paulo 🇧🇷, desta vez sediado no C6 Bank. O tema em pauta foi Istio, sua versatilidade e suas inúmeras funcionalidades, apresentadas de forma brilhante pela solo.io. Caiuã Iorio Costa Luana S. #Istio #ServiceMesh #Kubernetes #CloudNative
