Kubernetes solved many deployment challenges and Istio has come to handle difficult tasks of cross-service communication in a service mesh. One of Istio's capabilities is distributed tracing and alongside with another capability for collecting metrics, you have great tools to help you understand your service mesh and find out which service in your mesh is contributing to errors or latencies, or help you identify performance issues. In this talk I gave an introduction on these capabilities & tools, we saw how we can get started on tracing and metrics, and I presented Kiali, a service mesh observability tool.
