GitOps for Istio - Manage Istio Config like Code - Varun Talwar, Stealth Startup & Alexis Richardson, WeaveWorks (Intermediate Skill Level)

Services Meshes like Istio enable devops to drive service behavior via configurations. The model with Istio is to enable changing service behavior and their interactions including things like timeouts, circuit breakers, traffic routing, load balancing, A/B testing, canary releases via configuration and such critical configurations need lifecycle, audit, rollout, versioning, rollback etc like code does. This makes developers lives easier because config can be changed and managed like code code using familiar CI/CD pipelines. This can make changing configuration for resiliency controls and their subsequent testing with feedback metrics very easy. Overall, In this talk we talk about how istio config can be managed like code through git based workflows.
