Istio is an open source project that implements a service mesh, allowing for a way to observe and control the traffic flow between applications in Kubernetes. Istio is a key tool in securing Kubernetes workloads and hardening your environment.
This Juju charmed operator, written with the Operator Lifecycle Manager Framework, powers ingress controller-like capabilities on Kubernetes. By ingress controller-like capabilities, we mean that the istio-ingress Kubernetes charmed operator exposes Juju applications to the outside of a Kubernetes cluster or a service mesh, without relying on the ingress
resource of Kubernetes.
Instead, istio-ingress is instructed to expose Juju applications through relations with them and utilizes the new Kubernetes Gateway API. The operator is designed to be used in conjunction with istio-core-k8s to deploy and configure Istio using Juju.
