<p>This task uses the new <a href="/v0.8/blog/2018/v1alpha3-routing/">v1alpha3 traffic management API</a>. The old API has been deprecated and will be removed in the next Istio release. If you need to use the old version, follow the docs <a href="https://archive.istio.io/v0.7/docs/tasks/traffic-management/">here</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This task demonstrates the circuit-breaking capability for resilient applications. Circuit breaking allows developers to write applications that limit the impact of failures, latency spikes, and other undesirable effects of network peculiarities. This task will show how to configure circuit breaking for connections, requests, and outlier detection.</p>
<h2 id="before-you-begin">Before you begin</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Setup Istio by following the instructions in the

<pre><code class="language-command" data-lang="command">$ kubectl apply -f @samples/httpbin/httpbin.yaml@
</code></pre><p>otherwise, you have to manually inject the sidecar before deploying the <code>httpbin</code> application:</p>
<pre><code class="language-command" data-lang="command">$ kubectl apply -f &lt;(istioctl kube-inject -f @samples/httpbin/httpbin.yaml@)
</code></pre></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="circuit-breaker">Circuit breaker</h2>
<p>Let's set up a scenario to demonstrate the circuit-breaking capabilities of Istio. We should have the <code>httpbin</code> service running from the previous section.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Create a <a href="/v0.8/docs/reference/config/istio.networking.v1alpha3/#DestinationRule">destination rule</a> to specify our circuit breaking settings when calling the <code>httpbin</code> service:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash">cat <span style="color:#e6db74">&lt;&lt;EOF | istioctl create -f -

</code></pre></div></li>
<li>
<p>Verify our destination rule was created correctly:</p>
<pre><code class="language-command-output-as-yaml" data-lang="command-output-as-yaml">$ istioctl get destinationrule httpbin -o yaml

maxEjectionPercent: 100
</code></pre></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="setting-up-our-client">Setting up our client</h3>
<p>Now that we've set up rules for calling the <code>httpbin</code> service, let's create a client we can use to send traffic to our service and see whether we can trip the circuit breaking policies. We're going to use a simple load-testing client called <a href="https://github.com/istio/fortio">fortio</a>. With this client we can control the number of connections, concurrency, and delays of outgoing HTTP calls. In this step, we'll set up a client that is injected with the istio sidecar proxy so our network interactions are governed by Istio:</p>
<pre><code class="language-command" data-lang="command">$ kubectl apply -f &lt;(istioctl kube-inject -f @samples/httpbin/sample-client/fortio-deploy.yaml@)
</code></pre><p>Now we should be able to log into that client pod and use the simple fortio tool to call <code>httpbin</code>. We'll pass in <code>-curl</code> to indicate we just want to make one call:</p>
<pre><code class="language-command" data-lang="command">$ FORTIO_POD=$(kubectl get pod | grep fortio | awk '{ print $1 }')
$ kubectl exec -it $FORTIO_POD -c fortio /usr/local/bin/fortio -- load -curl http://httpbin:8000/get

},
&quot;origin&quot;: &quot;127.0.0.1&quot;,
&quot;url&quot;: &quot;http://httpbin:8000/get&quot;
}
</code></pre><p>You can see the request succeeded! Now, let's break something.</p>
<h3 id="tripping-the-circuit-breaker">Tripping the circuit breaker</h3>
<p>In the circuit-breaking settings, we specified <code>maxConnections: 1</code> and <code>http1MaxPendingRequests: 1</code>. This should mean that if we exceed more than one connection and request concurrently, we should see the istio-proxy open the circuit for further requests/connections. Let's try with two concurrent connections (<code>-c 2</code>) and send 20 requests (<code>-n 20</code>)</p>
