Workload

A binary deployed by operators to deliver some function in Istio. Workloads have names, namespaces, and unique ids. These properties are available in policy and telemetry configuration using the following attributes:

  • source.workload.name, source.workload.namespace, source.workload.uid
  • destination.workload.name, destination.workload.namespace, destination.workload.uid

In Kubernetes, a workload typically corresponds to a Kubernetes deployment, while a workload instance corresponds to an individual pod managed by the deployment.
