Traffic Dialling: Network Abstraction Using Istio Virtual Services

Explore a 26-minute conference talk on traffic dialling presented by Venkata Krishna Murthy Vadrevu and Nandan B N from Intuit at a CNCF event. Dive into the capabilities of Istio's Virtual Services for controlling and splitting traffic across multiple destinations. Learn how this technology enables canary and A/B rollouts, as well as routing to different services. Discover Intuit's implementation of a network abstraction layer using Istio's virtual services, which decouples applications from the platform and allows for seamless traffic channelization, migration, and splitting across parallel service stacks. Understand how this approach benefits clients on various platforms, both within and outside the service mesh, without requiring endpoint changes.
