It's used across the organization as a microservices traffic manager.
  • Traffic management
  • Security
  • Monitoring
  • Still missing functionalities for a full usage as traffic director.
Currently use for traffic management for IOT edge devices and their sensor data flows. IoT generates lots of data and this data needs to processed at the edge devices before sending the processed result to cloud. Hence there is always ingress and egress data traffic in and out of the IoT edge devices which needs traffic management

Cloud managed istio is simple to use and setup. It removes a lot of the initial complexity from the application and adoption, and is useful for users just getting into the kubernetes environment. It packages a powerful application while hiding a lot of work behind the scenes. It is worth considering for a) smaller companies without a lot of manpower to implement istio themselves, or b) companies starting to get into k8s, who want to see the benefits quickly. Long term, pricing and scale may affect the decision whether to continue to use cloud managed istio, or self managed istio.
  • Simple
  • Easy to setup
  • Quickly get the benefits
  • More tutorials
Well Suited: Small companies trying to grow/scale quickly.

Less Appropriate: Large teams looking to own their infrastructure.
