Many enterprise applications intertwine code that defines an app’s behavior with code that defines its network communication and other non-functional concerns. The “service mesh” pattern, implemented by platforms like Istio, helps you push operational issues into the infrastructure so the application code is easier to understand, maintain, and adapt. Istio in Action teaches you how to implement a full-featured Istio-based service mesh to manage a microservices application. With the skills you learn in this comprehensive tutorial, you’ll be able to delegate the complex infrastructure of your cloud-native applications to Istio! Get the whole book for 42% off.

2. Connect your microservices with a service mesh
A service mesh pushes operational
issues into the infrastructure so the
application code is easier to
understand, maintain, and adapt.
Istio in Action teaches you how to
implement a full-featured Istio-
based service mesh to connect
microservices applications.

3. Let the service mesh do the heavy lifting
With the skills you learn in this
comprehensive tutorial, you’ll be
able to delegate the complex
infrastructure of your cloud-
native applications to Istio.
Day-to-day concerns like service
discovery, load balancing,
encryption, authentication and
authorization, circuit breakers,
and more are managed by Istio!

4. Istio can make your life easier
Istio is an open source and cloud-
ready solution and Istio in Action
teaches you how to use it to
upgrade from manually-connected
microservice infrastructure.
You’ll also learn how to incorporate
Istio into legacy systems and use it
in a multi-cloud world with the data
layer deployed on a cluster like
Kubernetes.
