About Istio

An open source service mesh that lets teams connect, secure, control and observe services, providing traffic management, mTLS security, policy and telemetry across distributed applications - CHECK dedup. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
