Istio Training in Johannesburg

Istio is an open-source service mesh that runs on Kubernetes to provide secure, observable, and manageable connectivity between microservices. By leveraging Istio’s Envoy-based sidecar proxies, teams can enforce policies, secure communications with mTLS, gain deep observability into traffic, and improve reliability at scale.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level engineers who wish to deploy, secure, and manage microservices applications using Istio on Kubernetes.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Istio on Kubernetes clusters.
• Understand and apply service mesh concepts including traffic management, security, and observability.
• Deploy microservices applications within an Istio service mesh.
• Secure service-to-service communications with mutual TLS (mTLS) and Zero Trust principles.
• Monitor, trace, and troubleshoot microservices with Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger.
• Integrate Istio with Calico for advanced network policies and security.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
