Support for deploying Istio as a cluster add-on
- Services: Kubernetes Engine
- Release Date: January 18, 2024
You can now use Istio as a cluster add-on. Istio is an open-source, platform-independent service mesh that provides traffic management, policy enforcement, and telemetry collection. Using Istio as a cluster add-on rather than as a standalone program simplifies configuration and ongoing maintenance.
You can more simply:
- Enable or disable Istio
- Opt into, and out of, automatic updates by Oracle.
- Select Istio add-on versions.
- Manage add-on specific customizations using approved key/value pair configuration arguments.
