Learning objectives

  • Understand the fundamental concepts of service mesh with Istio
  • Install and configure Istio on a Kubernetes cluster
  • Manage microservices traffic via advanced routing rules
  • Secure communications with mTLS and authorization policies
  • Implement observability via Prometheus, Grafana, and Kiali
  • Deploy production applications with Istio Gateway

The Learni story

Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without Istio, 70% of microservices incidents stem from invisible network issues, causing average downtimes of 4 hours per week according to Datadog.

  • Your services remain vulnerable to lateral attacks, with absent mTLS encryption exposing 80% of internal flows.

  • Manual scaling generates latencies of 200ms+, slowing revenue by 15%.

  • Deficient observability hides 60% of bottlenecks, multiplying debug costs by 5.

  • Master Istio to avoid these losses, secure and optimize now.

Program

Module 1Istio Introduction: Service Mesh Concepts (Kubernetes, Envoy, Pilot)

Discover the basics of Istio by installing a Minikube cluster, configure Envoy sidecars on Bookinfo pods, explore the architecture via Kiali, perform your first service discovery exercises, and produce a traffic diagram to visualize flows, while building confidence to scale your microservices without downtime.

Module 2Istio Installation: Automated Deployment (istioctl, Helm, operators)

Dive into Istio installation on Kubernetes with istioctl and Helm, inject sidecars into real applications, test connectivity via kubectl commands, debug common errors with detailed logs, and generate a validation report to ensure a production-ready deployment.

Module 3Istio Traffic Management: VirtualService, DestinationRule (routing, canary)

Master routing with VirtualServices and DestinationRules, implement canary deployments on the Bookinfo app, configure fault injections to simulate failures, measure performance with real-time metrics, and create mirroring rules for live testing, boosting the resilience of your services.

Module 4Istio Security: mTLS, AuthorizationPolicy, RequestAuthentication

Enable mTLS to encrypt all flows, define strict authorization policies, integrate Citadel for certificate management, simulate attacks through practical exercises, audit vulnerabilities with Kiali, and deploy a service mesh firewall, securing your microservices against 95% of common threats.

Module 5Istio Observability: Telemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali (dashboards)

Configure Prometheus and Grafana to monitor Istio metrics, explore traces with Jaeger, customize Kiali dashboards for your apps, analyze real incidents via case studies, export automated reports, and complete a full project with Istio Gateway for an observable and performant stack.

  • Daily quizzes, practical labs, final certifying project

Learning method

  • 70% hands-on on real clusters, 30% interactive theory

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Istio - Master the Kubernetes Service Mesh in 5 Days program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, e-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Istio - Master the Kubernetes Service Mesh in 5 Days program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

* contact us for remote delivery feasibility** ratio varies depending on the program

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Istio - Master the Kubernetes Service Mesh in 5 Days program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
