Istio and Envoy are open-source projects that are commonly used together to manage and secure microservices-based applications within Kubernetes or other containerized environments. Envoy: Envoy is a high-performance, open-source proxy designed for cloud-native applications. It’s often deployed as a sidecar proxy alongside each service instance in a microservices architecture. Envoy acts as a transparent intermediary between microservices, handling traffic routing, load balancing, service discovery, encryption, and observability. Key features of Envoy include dynamic configuration, automatic service discovery, advanced load balancing algorithms, circuit breaking, and rich metrics collection. Istio: Istio is a service mesh platform built on top of Envoy, which provides a layer of infrastructure that facilitates communication, security, and observability between services. Istio uses Envoy as its data plane proxy, handling all network communication between services. Key features of Istio include traffic management (such as traffic splitting and routing), security (including mTLS encryption, access control, and policy enforcement), and observability (metrics, logs, and distributed tracing). Istio also offers advanced features like fault injection, rate limiting, and distributed request tracing for troubleshooting and debugging microservices-based applications. Together, Envoy and Istio provide a powerful set of tools for managing and securing microservices architectures, improving reliability, scalability, and maintainability of modern cloud-native applications. They allow developers and operators to implement complex networking and security requirements without modifying application code, enabling greater agility and flexibility in deploying and operating microservices-based systems.

Today we are thrilled to announce Envoy Gateway, a new member of the Envoy Proxy family aimed at significantly decreasing the barrier to entry when using Envoy for API Gateway (sometimes known as “north-south”) use cases. History Envoy was released as OSS in the fall of 2016, and much to our amazement quickly gained traction […] The post Introducing Envoy Gateway appeared first on DevOps.com. View the full article

Founded in 2015, the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) is a part of the nonprofit Linux foundation project. It serves as the home for several open-source projects like the Kubernetes, Envoy, and Prometheus. The CNCF has recently announced that Rook has now joined its family of graduated projects.
