In this workshop, you will learn how to master the challenges of a service mesh. To demonstrate this, multiple MicroProfile and Spring Boot-based microservices will be combined together with Istio to form a service mesh. 

Based on concrete code samples you will learn in this workshop how the necessary Istio rules work together with these services. This workshop will go far beyond a simple introduction into Istio; we will explicitly show different real world requirements such as configuration, tracing, resilience and testing and combine them with best practices. In addition, the workshop shows what other features Istio offers to avoid wrecking in the everyday use of distributed applications. All participants will receive the slides and code samples, together with the relevant Kubernetes/Istio scripts. You’ll receive a special Istio cheat sheet handout and a collection of Istio best practices.
