One of the bright points to emerge in Kubernetes management is how the core capabilities of the Istio service mesh can help make engineering teams more efficient in running multicluster applications. In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, we spoke with Dan Berg, distinguished engineer, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Services and Istio, and Neeraj Poddar, co-founder and chief architect, Aspen Mesh, F5 Networks. They discussed Istio’s wide reach for Kubernetes management and what we can look out for in the future. Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, hosted this episode.
Microservices have certainly introduced complexity into infrastructures, compared to the virtual machines (VM) in the past. Istio has emerged as a way to program network policies through an API, Berg said. “It’s a natural evolution to fit where we are today with cloud native applications based on containers,” Berg said.
Istio is also a particularly well-suited way for writing generic and reusable software to manage intraservice communication. As an open source service mesh platform for simplifying computer engineering vs computer science communication, Istio handles “a lot of complicated pieces around microservices communicating with each other,” Poddar said. Its range of use includes enforcing policies, managing certificates and telemetry, “so that you can understand what’s happening in your cluster,” said Poddar. “Those problems become more and more complicated as you add more microservices.”
