A beginner-to-practitioner workshop on service mesh using Istio on a local Kind cluster. Topics include installing Istio, sidecar injection, traffic management (routing, canary releases, fault injection), mTLS security, and observability. Every concept comes with a lab, so attendees leave with a working mesh and a repo to keep practising.

Online workshop with Kubesimplify, August 2026, about 1,700 views.
