Service Mesh Training in Basel

Istio is an open-source service mesh that runs on Kubernetes to provide secure, observable, and manageable connectivity between microservices. By leveraging Istio’s Envoy-based sidecar proxies, teams can enforce policies, secure communications with mTLS, gain deep observability into traffic, and improve reliability at scale.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level engineers who wish to deploy, secure, and manage microservices applications using Istio on Kubernetes.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Istio on Kubernetes clusters.
• Understand and apply service mesh concepts including traffic management, security, and observability.
• Deploy microservices applications within an Istio service mesh.
• Secure service-to-service communications with mutual TLS (mTLS) and Zero Trust principles.
• Monitor, trace, and troubleshoot microservices with Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger.
• Integrate Istio with Calico for advanced network policies and security.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Envoy Proxy is a high-performance edge and service proxy, originally created at Lyft, and now a CNCF project widely adopted in cloud-native infrastructures. Envoy acts as a universal data plane in service mesh architectures, enabling dynamic routing, observability, and Zero Trust security across microservices.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level engineers who wish to deploy, configure, and operate Envoy Proxy for modern microservices and service mesh environments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Envoy Proxy in standalone and Kubernetes environments.
• Understand Envoy’s architecture, including filters, clusters, and listeners.
• Configure traffic management policies such as retries, circuit breaking, and load balancing.
• Secure communication with TLS/mTLS and enforce Zero Trust principles.
• Extend Envoy functionality with WebAssembly (WASM) filters.
• Integrate Envoy with service meshes such as Istio and Consul.
• Monitor, trace, and troubleshoot microservice traffic using Envoy’s observability features.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Upon completion of this professional course, participants will have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively implement, manage, and scale Kuma's service mesh within Kubernetes environments. They will be able to implement advanced traffic routing, observability, and security features to optimize the performance and reliability of their microservices-based applications.
