So what's the difference between this and istio?

  There was a blog post just a few days ago comparing them (along with Linkerd and Consul Connect). Maybe it will help. https://kubedex.com/istio-vs-linkerd-vs-linkerd2-vs-consul/ https://kubedex.com/istio-vs-linkerd-vs-linkerd2-vs-consul/

    The post is long but it was really written from the POV of an infrastructure owner (DevOps) and not from the POV of a service owner/developer which is actually the target for Linkerd 2.0. FWIW - the post says it takes 5 mins to install Istio. I find that very, very hard to believe.

      For different definitions of "installed", I guess. I've been at an Istio workshop and it was less than 5 minutes to have it up and functional. Tweaking it obviously takes longer but that's true for every tool.

        Right - meaning live configured Grafana dashboards, TLS up and running, etc - beyond just console stuff.

        I’ve tried to install Istio on two clusters (at different points in time) and ran into blockers both times. YMMV.

      It took me about 5 minutes and then a few more hours tweaking rules to match what our existing services needed.

  Linkerd person here. The two projects have very different goals. I wrote some more about this on the Linkerd blog: https://blog.linkerd.io/2018/09/18/announcing-linkerd-2-0/ https://blog.linkerd.io/2018/09/18/announcing-linkerd-2-0/
