Istio Implementation with Comprehensive Features

I'm in need of a skilled Istio expert to assist with integrating Istio into my project. The primary goal is to make use of all the features it offers, so extensive knowledge of this service mesh is essential. Key responsibilities will include: - Implementing Traffic Management: This involves setting up load balancing, traffic routing and retry logic. - Observability: I would like to have a comprehensive monitoring system in place, so observability is a must. - Security: Ensuring the security features are properly implemented and configured. - Service Mesh: Setting up and configuring the service mesh to optimize the communication between the services. Other features that will need to be implemented are: - Fault Injection: I would like to be able to simulate various failure scenarios within my system to assess its robustness. - Circuit Breaker: Implementing the circuit breaker pattern to improve the system's resilience. The ideal freelancer for this project should have: - Proven experience with Istio, preferably in implementing all its features. - Strong knowledge of service mesh architecture. - Experience with setting up monitoring and observability in an Istio enabled environment. - Deep understanding of network security and how to configure it within Istio. - Ability to implement fault injection and circuit breaker patterns in distributed systems. If you believe you have the skills and experience required for this complex project, please reach out to discuss further details and your approach to this task.
