Circuit Breaker
- Refer Here for the circuit breaker added which would eject the faulty pods for 5ms, so that the traffic is not forwarded
Securing the inter cluster communication with https using Istio
- By default the book info application services communicate with other services over http.
- In many cases we would want to secure communication, But to enable that we need to have certification authority and the certificates needs to be rotated and application level changes (configuration) might be required as the protocol will change from http to https.
- Using Istio we can enable https communication across all the services or some selected services by using the Traffic policy (mTLS)
- So now istio can use Envoy side cars to make this communication completely secure without impacting application.
- Example will be covered in the next session.
