A Service Fabric for Polyglot Microservices
Istio is an open source system providing a uniform way to deploy, manage, and connect microservices.
Istio is composed of:
- A Proxy handling service-to-service and external-to-service traffic.
- A Mixer supporting access checks, quota allocation and deallocation, monitoring and logging.
- A Manager handling system configuration, discovery, and automation.
The Istio community abides by the CNCF code of conduct. Here is an excerpt:
As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.
