Best practices for microservices: Service Mesh/Istio on OpenShift

In complex financial services organizations, microservices architectures present many inherent challenges. It can be the dependencies between services to the chain of internal and external calls or it may be the performance analysis to encryption techniques.

Red Hat® OpenShift® Service Mesh provides an all-in-one solution for most of those challenges, covering services with a layer (the mesh) that allows you to control, monitor, and enhance your services. This layer addresses those challenges without the need for code changes, allowing services to focus on business value and providing proven solutions.

This webinar explains the complexities of running a network of microservices, the problems a service mesh can solve for, and how to implement OpenShift Service Mesh to address these challenges. We will also demonstrate some features of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh.

OpenShift Service Mesh technology uses and orchestrates several open source products:

• Istio controls the service mesh and communications between microservices.
• Kiali generates a live graph representation of the microservices and their interactions.
• Jaeger generates traces of calls through the service mesh.
• Prometheus and Graphana monitor and display performance and status of the services.

Be on the lookout for future webinars on subjects such as:

• Modern Java™ Development with Quarkus
• Container Architectures
• Migrating to Microservice Databases: From Relational Monolith to Distributed Data
• Open Innovation Labs : What is it and what it can do for you?
• DevOps - Infrastructure as a code with Ansible, Building Operators with Ansible
• Best Practices with Kubernetes: 12 Ways of the Cloud Native Warrior
• And more!
