The IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provide a  Service Mesh based on Istio. At a high level, service mesh can appear to have some overlap  points with other integration components. So, we have chosen to briefly describe it here for  clarity. See also 4.8, “Service mesh” on page 119, where we discuss its role conceptually and  especially in relation to API Management. Istio ( https://istio.io ) is one of the most popular technology implementations for a service  mesh. Istio is a Kubernetes-compatible open platform for providing a uniform way to integrate  microservices, manage traffic flow across microservices, enforce policies and aggregate  telemetry data.  From a high-level functionality perspective, Istio allows you to connect, secure, control, and  observe your containers as they run on Kubernetes.  In this section, we go specifically into detail on the Istio service mesh. For more information  on the broader architectural role of the Service Mesh, and specifically it is comparative  relationship to API management, see 4.8, “Service mesh” on page 119.  Istio provides traffic management for services. The traffic management function includes: GLYPH<SM590000> Intelligent routing : The ability to perform traffic splitting and traffic steering over multiple  versions of the service 5.9 Service Mesh: Istio  Connect Figure 5-6 Real-time visibility and control of transfers 164  Accelerating Modernization with Agile Integration
