Application Gateway for Containers service mesh integration
with Istio is now generally available. This capability simplifies secure
north-south traffic into workloads running in an Istio service mesh by
automating mutual TLS (mTLS) connectivity between Application Gateway for
Containers and mesh-enabled services.
With general availability, customers can use this
integration with both upstream open-source Istio and the
Istio-based service mesh add-on for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
This gives teams flexibility to adopt a managed AKS experience while using
Application Gateway for Containers as their ingress path for services inside
and outside the mesh.
- Single ingress solution: Route traffic to
services both inside and outside the mesh through one gateway.
- Reduced operational overhead: Simplify ingress
configuration and avoid repetitive mTLS definitions.
- Managed certificate lifecycle: Automate
certificate trust and rotation for secure communication with mesh
workloads.
- Flexible deployment options: Support both
upstream Istio and the AKS Istio-based service mesh add-on.
