Understanding Cloud technologies, like Kubernetes, can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledges about it, I started to create sketchnotes about Kubernetes and know it's time to talk about a perfect companion of Kubernetes, a service mesh, Istio.
We continue our new serie of Sketchnotes about Istio, let's talk about Traffic management & one of deployment architecture: Canary Release.
If you are interested, I published a book with all the sketchnotes on Istio (and new ones!): "Understanding Istio in a visual way".
As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).

Hi Aurelie--
Interesting way to present the topic.
Question: Do you use weighted routing in your production? Though I played with it; I never had a use case.
I do use Istio mostly for "Dark Release" or "Feature Flag Releases" though. And as the Ingress Controller.
What software do you use for creating the sketchnotes?
Hi
Thanks 🙂
For the moment we are using weight with only 100%. We are working first of all on a real Continuous Deployment tool like ArgoCD.
Features flags release, dark release and blue green can be good deployment architecture, depending on the context, the needs and the team. I talk about canary release because everybody talk about it, I plan to explain others architecture 🙂.
For sketchnoting I use for the moment Samsung s4 tablet, pencil and Samsung Notes.
It's not the better material but for the moment I use what I have 😊.
Interesting that you are able to pull it off with just a pencil. Real talent there.
I think you should publish your series on Slideshare also. It is not so legible the posting here.
Anyway, I look forward to more sketches.
That's great
