- [Best Practices](#best-practices)

## Overview

Deploy and configure a service mesh to manage microservice communication, enable advanced traffic management, implement security policies, and provide comprehensive observability across distributed systems.

## When to Use

- Microservice communication management
- Cross-cutting security policies
- Traffic splitting and canary deployments
- Service-to-service authentication
- Request routing and retries
- Distributed tracing integration
- Circuit breaker patterns
- Mutual TLS between services

## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```yaml
# istio-setup.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: istio-system
  labels:
    istio-injection: enabled

---
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
metadata:
  name: istio-config
  namespace: istio-system
spec:
  profile: production
  revision: "1-13"

  components:
    pilot:
      k8s:
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: 500m
            memory: 2048Mi
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
```

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Enable mTLS for all workloads
- Implement proper authorization policies
- Use virtual services for traffic management
- Enable distributed tracing
- Monitor resource usage (CPU, memory)
- Use appropriate sampling rates for tracing
- Implement circuit breakers
- Use namespace isolation

### ❌ DON'T

- Disable mTLS in production
- Allow permissive traffic policies
- Ignore observability setup
- Deploy without resource requests/limits
- Skip sidecar injection validation
- Use 100% sampling in high-traffic systems
- Mix service versions without proper routing
- Neglect authorization policies

a11y-audit

Included

Run accessibility audits on web projects combining automated scanning (axe-core, Lighthouse) with WCAG 2.1 AA compliance mapping, manual check guidance, and structured reporting. Output is configurable: markdown report only, markdown plus machine-readable JSON, or markdown plus issue tracker integration. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "accessibility audit", "a11y audit", "WCAG audit", "accessibility check", "compliance scan", or asks to check a web project for accessibility issues. Also trigger when the user wants to verify WCAG conformance or map findings to a specific standard (CAN-ASC-6.2, EN 301 549, ADA/AODA).
