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 Kubernetess workloads and hardening your environment.
The istio-beacon Charmed Operator facilitated adding charms to the Istio service mesh. The operator is designed to be used in conjunction with istio-k8s to deploy and configure Istio using Juju.
