Istio has quickly become a cornerstone of most Kubernetes clusters. As your container orchestration platform scales, Istio embeds functionality into the fabric of your cluster that makes monitoring, observability, and flexibility much more straightforward. However, it leaves us with our next question – how do we monitor Istio? This Istio log analysis guide will help you get to the bottom of what your Istio platform is doing.

Logz.io customers, here’s some big product news that we think you’ll be excited to hear. Scheduled Alerts, an altogether new manner of alerting, is coming your way. That’s right, get ready to utilize a whole new world of alerts that weren’t previously available in the Logz.io platform.

Fast build times are great, which is why we aim for less than 5m between merging a PR and getting it into production. Not only is waiting on builds a waste of developer time — and an annoying concentration breaker — the speed at which you can deploy new changes has an impact on your shipping velocity. Put simply, you can ship faster and with more confidence when deploying a follow-up fix is a simple, quick change.

Due to the ephemeral nature of pods, it is difficult to determine source or destination endpoints and limit their blast radius. Traditional perimeter-based firewalls are not ideal fit for Kubernetes and containers.
