You have an Azure subscription.
You plan to deploy multiple containerized microservice-based apps to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:
• Manages secrets
• Provides encryption
• Secures service-to-service communication by using mTLS encryption
• Minimizes administrative effort
What should you include in the recommendation?
Es una malla de servicios que proporciona mTLS, gestión de tráfico y políticas. Aunque potente, Istio puede ser complejo de instalar y gestionar, implicando un mayor esfuerzo administrativo.
For the requirements of managing secrets, providing encryption, securing service-to-service communication with mTLS, and minimizing administrative effort in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), the best solution is Istio
D seems to be the answer, as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/istio-about
Dapr https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/dapr-overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/dapr-settings?tabs=cli
The best choice to meet all the requirements listed is D. Istio. Here's why: Manages Secrets: Istio can integrate with Kubernetes secrets and ensures secure handling of sensitive information. Provides Encryption: It supports mTLS (mutual TLS) encryption to secure data in transit. Secures Service-to-Service Communication: Istio enables secure service communication with mTLS encryption, ensuring data protection between microservices. Minimizes Administrative Effort: Istio streamlines service mesh management with features such as automatic sidecar injection, centralized configurations, and extensive policy enforcement, reducing the overhead of managing microservices security.
according to copilot :-) Both Dapr and Istio are excellent tools, but they serve different purposes and are suited for different scenarios. Here's a comparison to clarify why Dapr might be a better fit for your requirements.
Istio enforces mTLS encryption for all inter-service communication, ensuring data is encrypted in transit. Dapr does not enforce mTLS encryption or centralized security policies.
