If you choose to use a service mesh to implement common functionality for everyone, standardise on available features and apply constraints, the service owners running on your platform may have to change their code and configuration causing a lot of work and friction for everyone involved. You might also need to change your architecture, re-evaluate your policies and check workflows to see if they still work out.

Instead of implementing and activating everything at once, we multi-staged our Istio introduction which enables everyone to adopt and adapt at a reasonable pace. In this talk, John will share the learnings and steps that were taken along the way of this ongoing journey from building a minimal ingress control scenario all the way to a strict mutual-TLS, SPIFFE-authenticated and policy driven multi-mesh implementation. When working on your own service mesh, you can take some or all of the ingredients we used to make your own recipe for a slightly smoother implementation.
