Generally Available: Application Gateway for Containers – Service Mesh integration with Istio
Application Gateway for Containers service mesh integration with Istio is now generally available. This capability simplifies secure north-south traffic into workloads running in an Istio service mesh by automating mutual TLS (mTLS) connectivity between Application Gateway for Containers and mesh-enabled services.
With general availability, customers can use this integration with both upstream open-source Istio and the Istio-based service mesh add-on for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This gives teams flexibility to adopt a managed AKS experience while using Application Gateway for Containers as their ingress path for services inside and outside the mesh.
- Single ingress solution: Route traffic to services both inside and outside the mesh through one gateway.
- Reduced operational overhead: Simplify ingress configuration and avoid repetitive mTLS definitions.
- Managed certificate lifecycle: Automate certificate trust and rotation for secure communication with mesh workloads.
- Flexible deployment options: Support both upstream Istio and the AKS Istio-based service mesh add-on.
