istio-ingress-k8s

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.

The istio-ingress-k8s charm powers ingress controller-like capabilities on Kubernetes. By ingress controller-like capabilities, we mean that istio-ingress-k8s 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-k8s 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.
