Hybrid Cloud Service Mesh with Anthos

Overview

Class Central Tips

This on-demand course equips students to understand and adopt Istio-based service-mesh with Anthos for centralized observability, traffic management, and service-level security.

Syllabus

Welcome to Architecting Hybrid Infrastructure with Anthos: Using Service Mesh

Welcome to the course.

Observing Services using Service Mesh Adapters

In this module, you'll learn about the flexible adapter model of an Istio-based service mesh. You'll learn about telemetry processing in a service mesh. You'll learn how to configure Stackdriver for logging and monitoring, You'll learn about the default telemetry for cloud and on-premises environments. In your service mesh, you'll configure and view custom metrics; view cluster and service metrics with pre-configured dashboards; and visualize and discover service attributes.

Managing Traffic Routing with Service Mesh

In this module you'll learn about the abstract model that the service mesh affords for traffic management. You'll learn about service discovery and load balancing in a service mesh, and you'll compare traffic management use cases and configurations. You'll configure an ingress. You'll visualize traffic routing with live generated requests. You'll configure a service mesh gateway to allow access to services from outside the mesh. You'll apply virtual services and destination rules for version-specific routing. You'll route traffic based on application-layer configuration. Finally, you'll shift traffic from one service version to another, with fine-grained control, as in a canary deployment.

Securing your Services with Service Mesh

In this module, you'll learn about service-to-service communication in a service mesh. You'll adopt mutual TLS authentication across the service mesh incrementally. You'll enable end-user authentication for the frontend service. Finally, you'll use service mesh access control policies to secure access to the frontend service.
