Service Mesh on K8s

← Back to Container Orchestration

Deploying a service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) in Kubernetes using sidecar injection. A proxy container (Envoy) is automatically injected into every pod, intercepting all network traffic. Provides mutual TLS, traffic management, observability, and resilience without application code changes.

Key Properties

• Sidecar Injection
• Istio and Linkerd
• Mesh Observability
