Building an Istio 1.6 Service Mesh for Bee Travels, a Microservices Based Application Deployed on Kubernetes
In this code pattern, we will deploy a microservices based application to IBM Kubernetes Service and create a service mesh with Istio 1.6.
When you have completed this code pattern, you will understand how to:
- Deploy a microservices application on Kubernetes
- Configure an Istio service mesh, including:
- Install and configure the IBM Managed Istio add-on
- Route traffic to specific microservice versions
- Shift traffic between multiple microservice versions (A/B testing)
- Access distributed trace spans through Jaeger
- Analyze service traffic and latency through Grafana
- Visualize the service mesh through Kiali
- View access logs
- Generate load tests with Artillery
- Complete the IBM Cloud set-up for Kubernetes and Istio
- Clone the repository
- Deploy the application to Kubernetes
- Deploy version 1 (data stored in json flat files)
- Deploy version 2 (data stored in an in-cluster database)
- Deploy version 3 (data stored in a database in the cloud)
- Access the application (ingress gateway)
- Configure the Istio service mesh
- Route traffic to specific microservice versions
- Shift traffic between multiple microservice versions
- Access distributed trace spans through Jaeger
- Analyze service traffic and latency through Grafana
- Visualize the service mesh through Kiali
- View access logs
