Just to recap, so far our ongoing series about the Istio service mesh we’ve talked about the benefits of using a service mesh, using Istio for application deployments and traffic management, and how Istio helps you achieve your security goals.

Did you ever have your customer success team (if you have the chance to have one!) overwhelmed by customers throught the support chat when facing minor incidents or even major outages, having to update all those worried customers in real time throught dozens of different channels as the engineering team finds out and resolves the issue? Support costs time, energy and money. What if all of your users could all connect to one single status page that would answer all of their questions?
Usually, when you hear us going on about labels here at Tigera, we are mentioning them as targets for selectors for network policies.

Not to mention it’s free and rather easy to consume. On the other hand, GA is never a slam dunk.
