About
Google Cloud Load Balancing is a managed load balancing service that distributes application traffic across virtual machines and containers on Google Cloud.
It supports global and regional load balancing, a single anycast IP address for worldwide deployments, automatic scaling without pre-warming, integration with Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor, and uses
Envoy and
Google Front End proxies to route and manage traffic.
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.
