Connect, secure, and monitor microservices at scale. Master Istio sidecars, mTLS security, and traffic management strategies.
As microservices grow, networking becomes the bottleneck. A Service Mesh solves this by moving logic to a dedicated infrastructure layer. This advanced course teaches Istio, the leading service mesh. You will learn to inject sidecar proxies, enforce mutual TLS (mTLS) for zero-trust security, and manage traffic for canary deployments and A/B testing. We also cover observability features to trace requests across your distributed architecture without changing application code.
