Istio itself has built-in health checks for its components. These health checks ensure that the various parts of Istio (like Pilot, Mixer, Citadel, etc.) are functioning properly. Istio's health checks are typically managed internally by Kubernetes health checks (liveness and readiness probes) configured for each Istio component's pod.
