Kubernetes with Istio service mesh
Istio control plane, sidecar-injected microservices, mTLS, ingress and egress gateways, and observability stack.
The prompt
Kubernetes cluster with Istio service mesh. istiod runs in the istio-system namespace as the control plane. Three microservices in the apps namespace: orders, payments, inventory. Each pod has an istio-proxy sidecar. Ingress Gateway in the istio-ingress namespace handles incoming traffic with mTLS. Egress Gateway controls outbound calls to external APIs. Traffic between services uses mTLS automatically. Authorization policies restrict which services can call which. Show telemetry flowing to Prometheus and traces to Jaeger. Kiali visualises the mesh topology.
What it generates
A service mesh diagram showing data plane sidecars, control plane, gateways, and the observability backend.
When to use it
When you need zero-trust networking between services, fine-grained traffic control, or built-in observability without instrumenting every service.
