Right? The first link on the page is "Installing Istio on Kubernetes".
What is Istio? Why would I want to install it? Can you teach me what Kubernetes is first, and how to install that?
- autotune 4y agoI love Kubernetes for the most part and it’s awesome, but yeah, starting with Istio is like going from 0 to 60 MPH in a few seconds in a sports car when that person has been riding an e-bike as their primary transportation for 3 years.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoNot to mention that beside its insane complexity most people these days probably just need linkerd instead. Google pushes Istio because they built it but it’s so overkill for so many people’s use cases. Yeah you really need to understand what K8s does before even thinking about a service mesh like Istio, weird that it’s the first link on the page.
- jldugger 4y agoYea, the front page seems to be optimized for recency -- Istio is on top because its the newest module, as the heading "Latest release" states. If you scroll down to "View all series" they have one listed as "KUBERNETES FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS"[1]. The content is 1-2 years old which can be quite a ways back in our field.
