Get Started with Istio Ambient Mesh Workshop with Certification Option (PDT - EDT time zone event)

Istio Ambient Mesh implements a “sidecarless” architecture which is transparent to the workloads in the mesh. This approach provides a number of benefits including incremental adoption, improved operations and more. This workshop will help you better understand how Istio Ambient Mesh works.

First, you'll need to install Istio using the new Ambient profile, which will install the Istiod control plane along with data plane components such as Istio ingress gateway and ztunnels. After that, you'll learn how to onboard service into the mesh and you'll explore several capabilities, including:

• Layer 4 authorization policies
• Layer 7 authorization policies
• Layer 7 observability
• Fault injection
• Traffic shifting

At the end of the workshop, there will be a certification exam to test your knowledge. Participants who pass the certification exam will be issued a Credly Badge certifying their status. This credential, offered by Solo.io with Credly, certifies that you possess the essential skills to understand how Istio Ambient Mesh works, how to install it, and how to onboard services to leverage its capabilities. At the completion of the workshop, you will be able to take an assessment and a score 80% or higher earns the certification.
