Istio gets AI support with ambient multicluster and agent gateway
""After nine years, Istio continues to evolve to meet users where they are and where they're headed. These new updates signal Istio's commitment to being the service mesh of the future for agentic workloads and more.""
"Ambient Multicluster extends Istio's ambient mode to multiple clusters, allowing for multicluster routing across regions or clouds without the need for sidecars."
"The Gateway API Inference Extension integrates machine learning inference directly into mesh traffic flows, aligning with Kubernetes standards for a consistent developer experience."
"Experimental support for agent gateway, originally created by Solo.io, focuses on processing dynamic AI traffic patterns, enhancing Istio's capabilities."
CNCF announced new Istio features to manage AI workloads on Kubernetes, including Ambient Multicluster in beta, Gateway API Inference Extension in beta, and experimental agent gateway support. Ambient Multicluster extends Istio's ambient mode to multiple clusters without sidecars, simplifying service mesh installation. The Gateway API Inference Extension integrates machine learning inference into mesh traffic flows, providing a consistent developer experience. Experimental support for agent gateway focuses on processing dynamic AI traffic patterns, reflecting Istio's evolution to meet user needs.
