Leveraging Istio to connect External VM to Kubernetes (GKE) - This article explores how to extend Kubernetes service mesh capabilities beyond the cluster by leveraging Istio to seamlessly connect an external Virtual Machine (VM) to a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. It demonstrates a practical approach to integrating VM-based workloads with Kubernetes-native microservices, utilizing Istio’s advanced networking and traffic management features to create a unified, scalable service mesh across both environments. The article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up Istio to enable workloads in the Kubernetes Cluster to send and receive traffic from and to the VM, including generating necessary artifacts, configuring the external VM, and installing and starting the Istio sidecar service.

What’s next with Istio Service Mesh? - Istio Ambient Mesh, a new data plane for Istio service mesh, eliminates the need for sidecar proxies by introducing a shared proxy layer at the node level, reducing resource overhead and simplifying deployment and management. It offers flexibility by allowing mixing of both sidecar and sidecarless deployment modes in the same environment and the option to deploy only L4 proxies or inject L7 ones later.
