Marrying API management with Istio

Istio is a service mesh on top of Kubernetes. Istio assists with the securing, managing and monitoring the communication between microservices.

The two main drivers behind Istio, IBM and Google (Apigee) both have a strong API Management solution. IBM comes with API Connect, Google with Apigee. Now both IBM and Google are definitely going to bring their API Managemet solution together with Istio. 

Apigee has already released a "Apigee Adapter for Istio" that we successfully took it for a spin.

IBM is releasing papers describing API + Microservices Management as the perfect marriage.

A topic to closely monitor as it brings enterprise API Management and Micro Services together!
