Istio helps you control and watch traffic in Kubernetes. In this course, you learn it by doing real hands-on work. Note: Istio still does not support Mac M1 chips.

Ingress gateways fail on that hardware. You can still follow most lessons, but some steps may not work. You can use a cloud VM like an EC2 instance if you need full support.

What You Need

You can run the course on your own machine with Minikube. You need about 8GB of RAM. You can also run it on any cloud setup that supports Kubernetes.

What You Will Learn
