Istio – An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices

Istio is an open platform for providing a uniform way to integrate microservices, manage traffic flow across microservices, enforce policies and aggregate telemetry data. Istio’s control plane provides an abstraction layer over the underlying cluster management platform, such as Kubernetes, Mesos, etc. This directory contains code to enforce various policies for traffic passing through the proxies, and collect telemetry data from proxies and services.
