Working with the Istio community, we're pleased to have developed "istio-csr", open source software to integrate Istio with cert-manager. This enables workload certificates to be issued from the wide array of certificate authorities and providers that cert-manager supports, including Venafi, Google Certificate Authority Service (CAS) and more. We look forward to collaborating with the Tetrate Istio Distro community to provide an easy and seamless integration, enabling operators and security teams to tap into cert-manager and secure the mesh from the get-go.

Matt Bates, co-founder & CTO Jetstack

At Tracfone, we’ve built an immutable infrastructure with k8s, istio and a custom CI/CD platform. We leverage Istio for an array of capabilities like traffic management, telemetry, zero-trust security and more. Istio training from Tetrate Academy is a great resource for our teams to learn Istio fast and get the most out of it.
