Microservices provide some advantages but they also offer some challenges that may help to introduce the ServiceMesh main features. Which are the configuration and management of Microservices in various ways -- Circuit Breaker, A/B Deployment, Traffic Distribution and many others. Microservices can interact, sometimes crash or be delayed in response, so the ServiceMesh needs to be monitored. For the monitoring and configuration, a ServiceMesh Observability and Control Tool is needed.

In this session you will learn about Kiali, which works with Istio to visualise the ServiceMesh topology, connection and the health of Microservices. We will go through Kiali’s observability and visualization features, such as showing detailed metrics, tracing information through integrated Jaeger, validations and configurations of Istio objects via YAML editor or via an interactive wizard.
