It is beeing used only by IT department to manage the mesh traffic. Periodic updates helps us to deal with daily issues. We use it to communicate microservices such us Microsoft Azure App Services, Azure SQL among others. Also it help us finding and solving the issues with different type of reports.
- Debug issues
- Monitoring
- allows many services form many different sources
- the software upates sometimes get problems
- need more documentation
- should have a better customer support

IBM Cloud Managed Istio - An Awesome Tool
We are into banking services. All our applications are microservices and we have multiple microservices for example Azure app services, Databricks, Azure SQL managed services, etc., [all of] which communicate with each other for a response. Managing the network services communication for each service is a complex process in Azure Kubernetes Services. So we integrated IBM Cloud Managed Istio with AKS cluster. Now with this new integration, it helps us to manage the routing of services, [where] we can very easily define traffic rules (i.e. ingress and egress networks). It helps to debug application connectivity issues with different types of graphs, i.e. useful in debugging.
Yes, it is used across the whole organization.

- Managing the cluster, i.e. pods connectivity
- Managing the ingress/egress network configuration for routing of service flow
- Nice dashboard for monitoring the health of application
- Trigger alerts to pager duty if something goes wrong to appropriate team
- Pods (container) security, i.e. it will only run with specific users also got resolved
- Complex to understand. IBM needs to provide more example documentations.
- Updating the [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] to latest version can sometimes break the application.
- Implementation of integration of [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] with other tools like Grafana, Sumologic for monitoring is very complex; it can be improved.

- It reduced the complexity of network mesh (ingress/egress services).
- One tool with many solutions. No need to integrate monitoring tools or notification tools.
- It reduced the number of lines of YAML code.
- It reduced the number of labor hours.
1) One-stop solution for all the complex network connectivity managed by [IBM Cloud Managed Istio].
2) Nice dashboard to understand the flow.
3) Easy to troubleshoot the service if any one of the APIs is not responding.
4) We can integrate it with Azure Kubernetes service and other cloud provider Kubernetes services.
5) Monitoring the health of the pods can be easily configured and alerts can be triggered very accurately with this tool.
