We encourage contributions and feedback from the community at-large.</p><p><em>Platform-independent</em>: Istio is not targeted at any specific deployment environment. During the initial stages of development, Istio will support
|
|
Kubernetes-based deployments. However, Istio is being built to enable rapid and easy adaptation to other environments.</p><p><em>Service mesh</em>: Istio is designed to manage communications between microservices and applications. Without requiring changes to the underlying services, Istio provides automated baseline traffic resilience, service metrics collection, distributed tracing, traffic encryption, protocol upgrades, and advanced routing functionality for all service-to-service communication.</p><p>For more detail, please see: <a href=/v1.3/docs/concepts/what-is-istio/>What is Istio?</a></p></div><h5 id=why-use-istio class=question>Why would I want to use Istio?</h5><div class=answer><p>Traditionally, much of the logic handled by Istio has been built directly into applications. Across a fleet of services, managing updates to this communications logic can be a large burden. Istio provides an infrastructure-level solution to managing service communications.</p><p><em>Application developers</em>: With Istio managing how traffic flows across their services, developers can focus exclusively on business logic and iterate quickly on new features.</p><p><em>Service operators</em>: Istio enables policy enforcement and mesh monitoring from a single centralized control point, independent of application evolution. As a result, operators can ensure continuous policy compliance through a simplified management plane.</p></div><h5 id=how-do-i-get-started class=question>How do I get started using Istio?</h5><div class=answer><p>We recommend starting with the <a href=/v1.3/docs/examples/>Guides</a>, which walks
|
|
through different core Istio concepts in a tutorial style. The guides show
|
|
case intelligent routing, policy enforcement, security, telemetry, etc.</p><p>To start using Istio on your existing Kubernetes or Consul deployment, please refer to our <a href=/v1.3/docs/setup/>Installation instructions</a>.</p></div><h5 id=what-is-the-license class=question>What is the license?</h5><div class=answer><p>Istio uses the <a href=https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html>Apache License 2.0</a>.</p></div><h5 id=how-was-istio-started class=question>How was Istio started?</h5><div class=answer><p>The Istio project was started by teams from Google and IBM in partnership with the Envoy team from Lyft. It’s been
|
|
developed fully in the open on GitHub.</p></div><h5 id=what-deployment-environment class=question>What deployment environments are supported?</h5><div class=answer><p>Istio is designed and built to be platform-independent. For our
|
|
1.3 release, Istio supports environments running
|
|
container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes (1.13, 1.14, 1.15)
|
|
and Nomad with Consul.</p></div><h5 id=how-do-i-contribute class=question>How can I contribute?</h5><div class=answer><p>Contributions are highly welcome.
