These workshop exercises are built with the help from a number of amazing Kubernetes and Istio experts from Google and Grand Cloud.

Ray Tsang @saturnism

The Kubernetes and Istio exercises are derived from the work of Ray Tsang @saturnism and these repositories:

Zach Butcher @ZachButcher

Zach was instrumental in helping write the Istio tutorials.

Kelsey Hightower @kelseyhightower

The Istio Ingress Tutorial is largely based on the work of Kelsey and this repository:

https://github.com/kelseyhightower/istio-ingress-tutorial

Kelsey's tutorial uses more advance features of Kubernetes to taint some of the nodes so that the Ingress controller runs on dedicated nodes. The Ingress controller is then deployed as a daemonset.
