Istio
Istio extends Kubernetes to establish a programmable, application-aware network.
A service mesh is an infrastructure layer that gives applications capabilities like zero-trust security, observability, and advanced traffic management, without code changes. Istio is the most popular, powerful, and trusted service mesh. Founded by Google, IBM and Lyft in 2016, Istio is a graduated project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation alongside projects like Kubernetes and Prometheus.
