ISTIO TRAINING & OPENSHIFT SERVICE MESH TRAINING (EX328)

Building Resilient Microservices with Istio and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh
In today’s cloud-native landscape, organizations are increasingly adopting microservices architecture to gain speed, flexibility, and scalability. But microservices come with their own challenges - unpredictable service communication, lack of visibility, insecure service interactions, and deployment risks. This is where Istio training – istio service mesh and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh play a critical role.

At KR Network Cloud, Learn to build, secure, and scale resilient microservices with hands-on training in Istio and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh. Master service traffic control, observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger, and deploy production-ready strategies like canary releases and circuit breakers. Ideal for DevOps engineers, platform teams, and developers aiming for Istio or Red Hat EX328 certification.

WHAT IS ISTIO SERVICE MESH COURSE?
This course gives you deep, hands-on experience with service mesh on OpenShift, based on the curriculum of Red Hat’s DO328. You’ll walk through every major component of the Istio ecosystem, including Envoy proxies, control plane, Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali, and Jaeger, and apply those tools through real-world scenarios and lab exercises.
Throughout the training, you’ll learn to trace service behavior, control and route service traffic intelligently, test failure scenarios using chaos engineering, and apply security policies like mutual TLS and authorization across the mesh. Everything is designed to reflect real production environments, ensuring you’re ready for practical implementation or certification.

WHY ISTIO SERVICE MESH SKILLS MATTER IN 2026
As Kubernetes adoption grows, managing microservices without a service mesh becomes risky and inefficient.
With Istio on OpenShift, organizations can:
• Secure service-to-service communication using mTLS
• Implement traffic shifting, canary deployments, and retries
• Gain deep observability with metrics, logs, and tracing
• Enforce enterprise-grade security policies
• Improve application reliability without changing application code
This is why Istio Service Mesh training is becoming a mandatory skill for:
• OpenShift Administrators
• Platform Engineers
• SREs
• DevOps & Cloud Engineers
