Istio Service Mesh

Istio Service Mesh is an infrastructure layer that developers use to manage, secure, and observe communication between services in a Kubernetes-based environment. On SAP BTP, developers use the Istio module to manage and configure the Istio service mesh. A key feature of Istio is its sidecar proxy, which is injected into Pods to handle traffic management and enforce policies; developers can consult the Istio Service Mesh documentation to understand what sidecar proxies are, the benefits they provide, and how to troubleshoot injection issues when Pods do not have a sidecar proxy injected.
