I've attended a talk on Kubecon last year on how one company adopted Istio service mesh. I've lost the guy in the first 10 minutes of the talk as it was so complicated, and decided that service mesh is 100% not going into our k8s clusters. Recently an overly confident security engineer came to us and demanded that we get service mesh because thats a SOX requirement. I have no idea from where these people get pipe dreams like that.
