Service Mesh - service-to-service communication

Service Mesh's Control Plane

Istio

  • Greek word for "sail"
  • Istio is an open platform-independent service mesh that provides traffic management, policy enforcement, and telemetry collection
  • Layer 7 firewall + loadbalancer, ingress, blocking outgoing traffic, tracing, monitoring, logging
  • Policies and Telemetry: Prometheus, StatsD, FluentD and many others...

Istio overview

Istio architecture

  • Envoy - is a high-performance proxy to mediate all inbound and outbound traffic for all services in the service mesh.

 

  • Pilot - provides service discovery for the Envoy sidecars, traffic management capabilities for intelligent routing.

 

  • Mixer - enforces access control and usage policies across the service mesh, and collects telemetry data from the Envoy proxy and other services.

 

  • Citadel - provides strong service-to-service and end-user authentication with built-in identity and credential/certificate management.

 

  • Galley - is Istio's configuration validation, ingestion, processing and distribution component

Istio components

  • DestinationRule - defines policies that apply to traffic intended for a service after routing has occurred.  

 

  • VirtualService - defines a set of traffic routing rules to apply when a host is addressed.

 

  • ServiceEntry is commonly used to enable requests to services outside of an Istio service mesh.

 

  • Gateway configures a load balancer for HTTP traffic, most commonly operating at the edge of the mesh to enable ingress traffic for an application.
