Workshop: Smart Deployment Patterns with Istio Service Mesh
Deploying microservices to Kubernetes (and other cloud-native platforms) is only easy in theory.
The inherent complexity of distributed systems requires new techniques of observability, analysis
and resilience. Service mesh is an infrastructure-based architectural pattern that makes these
techniques possible in a smart, centralised way.
Things we’ll get our hands dirty with:
- building Docker images for our app
- deploying app versions to Kubernetes
- deploying and configuring Istio
- monitoring app performance with prometheus
- implementing the following deployment strategies:
dark launch
canary
traffic mirroring
