  • istio

    Connect, secure, control, and observe services.

  • Istio service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that you can add transparently to your applications. This new layer adds extra capabilities to the infrastructure, allowing you to manage the traffic between your microservices. You can create your own rules to balance the traffic based on your preferences, implement fault injection rules to apply chaos engineering to your code, and much more.

  • envoy

    Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy

  • Envoy is a data plane component in the Istio service mesh architecture. It is not part of the control plane, but its role is key to make Istio service mesh work. Envoy is a proxy that is collocated in pods (as a sidecar container), along with the original container. This sidecar proxy is responsible for handling traffic between services in the cluster, and from internal to external services.

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

  • Grafana: Like Prometheus, widely adopted and worldwide supported by the open source community. Grafana connects to data sources and represents time series data in graphs, easy to consume, configure, and allows users to export/import dashboards.

  • kiali

    Kiali project, observability for the Istio service mesh

  • Kiali: The Istio service mesh console. You’ll be able to monitor and check traffic flows, configure rich rules, circuit breakers, load balancers, and more.

  • jaeger

    CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

  • Jaeger: A distributed tracing platform. In addition to what the other tools offer, Jaeger allows you to analyze network performance and optimize latencies.
