An introduction to Envoy Proxy's architecture — listeners, clusters, filters, and the xDS dynamic configuration API. Covers static configuration for standalone use and how Envoy fits into service meshes like Istio.
Advanced Envoy traffic management — configuring retries with exponential backoff, per-request timeouts, weighted canary routing, global rate limiting, and fault injection for resilience testing.
A practical guide to getting started with Istio — installing on Kubernetes, enabling automatic mTLS, configuring VirtualServices for traffic management, and understanding the sidecar injection model.
Implement Envoy rate limiting with local token bucket and global Redis-backed strategies to protect your services from traffic spikes.
Deploy Envoy as an edge proxy and sidecar for microservices — listeners, clusters, routes, circuit breaking, retries, and observability features.
Install Istio on Kubernetes, understand the control plane architecture, deploy your first sidecar proxy, and configure namespace injection.
Configure Istio VirtualServices, DestinationRules, and Gateways for advanced traffic routing, canary deployments, fault injection, and circuit breaking.
