An open source service mesh platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices
Istio is an open source service mesh platform that connects microservices and handles failures. With Istio, it is easier to observe what is happening across an entire network of microservices, to secure communication between services, and to ensure that policies are enforced.
Learn about our approach to open source, including where we focus our contributions in projects and communities, how we push innovation upstream, and what you should consider when embracing open source in your enterprise.
