Istio is an open platform that allows the operator to turn workloads into “services” by intent-driven configurations without rewriting/redeploying them. Istio configuration provides the operators central controls to these diverse workloads regardless of what environments they run in, or where they run. In this talk, we introduce how Istio configuration is designed to meet the goals of an easy-to-use schema, access controlled API, and performant system components at scale. We cover the automations Istio provides to ease a wide range of operators' tasks on multi-environment deployments, such as configuration authoring, configuration resource life-cycle management, monitored and safe configuration distribution.
