Adapters

Adapters are plug-ins to Mixer, Istio's policy and telemetry component, which enable it to interface with an open-ended set of infrastructure backends that deliver core functionality, such as logging, monitoring, quotas, ACL checking, and more. The exact set of adapters used at runtime is determined through configuration and can easily be extended to target new or custom infrastructure backends.
