CCN Roadshow for Dev Track Module 3: Control Cloud Native Apps with OpenShift Service Mesh

Microservices architectures present many inherent challenges. From the dependencies between services to the chain of internal and external calls. From 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 faces those challenges without the need for code changes, allowing services to focus on business value and providing proven solutions.

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 Grafana monitor and display performance and status of the services.

This workshop is a hands-on experience designed to introduce developers to OpenShift Service Mesh. It includes exercises which covers the following topics -

• Primary features of Istio such as Virtual Service and A/B testing, 
• How the network of microservices are observed with Kiali, Prometheus and Grafana, 
• Distributed tracing using Jaeger 
• Advanced service mesh use cases such as fault injection, traffic shifting, circuit breaking and rate limiting.
