We will provision a Kubernetes cluster using GKE. Onto this we'll install Istio.

I'll take you through the principles of Istio's operation, and its various components. Then we'll deploy a sample app and show what Istio is doing to the traffic. With these in place, we'll explore the traffic observability features of Istio. Lastly, we'll perform some traffic control; setting up HTTP-aware canaries and a/b tests.

In this workshop we’ll learn how to automate building of cloud infrastructure. We’ll see how previously point-and-click infrastructure deployments can be specified declaratively in source-controlled files, and have their lifecycle managed by the leading cloud-native tool: Terraform. We’ll go from nothing to two servers in two clouds, and managed DNS too. Note that this workshop is about deploying IaaS resources, rather than services or Kubernetes.
