Incorporating Istio into your Kubernetes cluster

In this section, we will get to know Istio a little better, install it into a fresh cluster, and explore all the service goodness it provides.

It is divided into a control plane and a data plane. The data plane is a set of proxies (one per pod). Their control plane is a set of components that are responsible for configuring the proxies and collecting telemetry data.
