Why Your Kubernetes Setup Is Missing a Critical Piece

Istio. Service Mesh. Kubernetes. Heard the terms, but not sure how they fit together? In this video, we'll connect the dots and explain the core concepts. No code, just clarity

We'll cover:
👉 What is a service mesh, and why is it suddenly so important?
👉 The real-world problems (like traffic management, security, and observability) that Istio solves in your microservices.
👉 A simple analogy to visualize how Istio's "sidecar proxy" (Envoy) works.
👉 Key features of Istio: Canary deployments, automatic mutual TLS, and golden metrics.
👉 How Istio fits into the Kubernetes ecosystem.

By the end of this video, you'll understand the purpose of Istio and be ready to dive into technical tutorials. chnge confused word
