Istio Community

Welcome to the Istio community!

This is the starting point for becoming a contributor - improving docs, improving code, giving talks etc.

Community Meeting

We have PUBLIC and RECORDED bi-weekly community meetings every Thursday at 11am US Pacific Time.

Map that to your local time with this timezone table.

Istio is a set of components, each shepherded by dedicated working groups.

Each group's material is in its subdirectory in this project.

Documentation (like the text you are reading now) can always use improvement!

There's a list of issues that should not need deep knowledge of the system.

To dig deeper, read a design doc, e.g. architecture.

There's always code that can be clarified and variables or functions that can be renamed or commented.

There's always a need for more test coverage.
