Google, IBM, and Lyft announce Istio: an open source project that provides a uniform way to connect, secure, manage and monitor microservices. Istio is targeted at the Kubernetes environment; with added support for other environments such as virtual machines and Cloud Foundry in the coming months. Istio adds traffic management to microservices and creates a basis for value-add capabilities like security, monitoring, routing, connectivity management and policy. The software gives visibility and control over traffic without requiring any changes to application code, a powerful tool to enforce security, policy and compliance requirements across the enterprise.
