Intro to Istio-Service Mesh for Cloud-Native Kubernetes Apps

What You Will Learn!

Understand the basic architecture of Istio and Istio-Kubernetes interactions.
Understand how Istio provides a full-feature service mesh to better run and monitor applications.
Deploy Istio on Kubernetes
Use Istio to manage a polyglot, microservices-based application.

Description

Join Kumulus Technologies' CTO, Robert Starmer, as he helps you gain a functional understanding of how Istio provides a service mesh on Kubernetes to effectively and efficiently manage microservices-based, cloud-native applications. A series of concise lectures provide the necessary background on Kubernetes' and Istio's architectures and then explains how Istio's features help simplify microservices management complexity for both cloud operators and application developers. The course wraps up with Labs that provide instructions on how to deploy Istio on Kubernetes (with instructions to deploy locally on your laptop or leveraging Google Cloud Platform's GKE), then deploy istio on Kubernetes, and finally deploy and application and manage it's behavior with Istio. This course assumes no prior knowledge of Kubernetes or Istio and will leave you with the fundamental understanding and operational skills to repeatable deploy both k8s and Istio to continue your learning of Istio's functionality.

Who Should Attend!

Anyone interested in understanding Istio and how a Service Mesh simplifies running a microservices-based, cloud-native application.
Operators that provide support for microservices-based applications and wish to simplify their operational stack and gain improved insight into application stability.
Application developers that want to understand how the service mesh model can simplify their application deployment and help understand inter-service interactions.
