Changes in the microservice landscape
As we have seen in the preceding section, Istio comes with components that overlap with components currently used in the microservice landscape in terms of functionality:
- The Istio Ingress Gateway can act as an edge server, an alternative to the Kubernetes Ingress resources.
- The Jaeger component that comes bundled with Istio can be used for distributed tracing instead of Zipkin.
In the following two subsections, we will learn why and how Kubernetes Ingress resources are replaced with Istio Ingress Gateway, and how and why Zipkin is replaced with Jaeger.
