About this service

Summary

I help organizations implement Istio Service Mesh on Kubernetes to achieve zero-trust networking, advanced traffic management, and deep observability for microservices. With experience in complex multi-cluster setups, sidecar vs. ambient mesh, and integrations with monitoring/logging stacks, I ensure your applications run securely, reliably, and with minimal downtime. My focus is on production-grade best practices and knowledge transfer, so your team can confidently manage and extend Istio post-deployment.

What's included

1. Istio Control Plane Setup
Installation and configuration of Istio in your Kubernetes cluster(s).
2. Traffic Management
Canary releases, blue/green deployments, retries, failovers, and traffic shifting policies.
3. Zero-Trust Security
mTLS, RBAC, and policy enforcement for secure service-to-service communication.
4. Observability Stack Integration
Dashboards with Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali, and Jaeger for metrics, tracing, and visualization.
5. Ingress & Egress Gateways
Secure exposure of internal services to external traffic and control over outgoing traffic.
6. Knowledge Transfer Session
A walkthrough session to hand over best practices, debugging techniques, and operational tips.
