Istio Service Mesh — Request Routing

In this blog, we will use Istio and Amazon EKS to demonstrate Request Routing, one of the best features of Service Mesh.

Istio is a Service Mesh product. It is the joint effort of IBM, Google and Lyft.

It supports traffic flow management, access policy enforcement and the telemetry data aggregation between microservices. Istio does all this with no changes to application source code.

More information about Istio can be found in official documentation.
