About

Azure Monitor is a solution that collects, analyzes, and acts on telemetry from various resources, including Windows Servers and VMs.

Istio is an open-source service mesh that secures, connects, and monitors services in Kubernetes, virtual machines, and multi-cloud environments.

It can run with Envoy proxies injected into each service or in a proxy-free ambient mode, and provides canary releases, load balancing, circuit breakers, mutual TLS authentication, and observability through metrics, logs, and distributed traces for Prometheus and Grafana.
