istio-traffic-management
Configure Istio routing, load balancing, circuit breakers, and canary deployments for service mesh traffic policies.
- Covers four core resources: VirtualService for host-based routing, DestinationRule for service-level policies, Gateway for ingress/egress, and ServiceEntry for external services
- Includes templates for basic routing, canary deployments (weighted traffic splits), circuit breakers with outlier detection, retries with timeouts, traffic mirroring, and fault injection
- Supports multiple load balancing strategies including round-robin, least connections, random, and consistent hashing for sticky sessions
- Provides debugging commands via istioctl for analyzing routes, endpoints, and traffic configuration
Istio Traffic Management
