Istio — Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) Practice Questions
Istio is an open-source service mesh that is one of the supported mesh implementations in Azure Kubernetes Service through the AKS Istio add-on. It provides traffic shifting, mutual TLS between services, telemetry collection, and policy enforcement at the sidecar proxy level. For AZ-305, understanding Istio is relevant when designing zero-trust network architectures inside AKS clusters or when implementing canary deployments and A/B testing at the service layer. Candidates should know how the managed Istio add-on differs from a self-managed installation in terms of lifecycle management and support.
