An easy path to Kubernetes

Istio is an open technology that provides a way for developers to seamlessly connect, manage and secure networks of different microservices — regardless of platform, source or vendor. Istio is currently one of the fastest-growing open source projects based on Github contributors, and its strength is its community. IBM is proud to be a founder and contributor of the Istio project and a leader of Istio Working Groups.
