    Istio adds an automation layer on top of Envoy proxy mesh that allows global cross-cutting policy enforcement. Many of us actively contribute back to Envoy, and there's a lot of exchange of ideas between the two projects on designing the next generation of the config for Envoy.

  I am wondering how Istio is related to Openshift (the Redhat blog post didn't give that much information). Will Istio be integrated into Openshift or simply added as an application to be installed from the catalogue?

    OpenShift is based on Kubernetes, and I expect istio to integrate well as a general service to service mesh. Catalog exposure will be useful and something that will get targeted at some point (maybe not right away)
