EliFuzz

Mode	Description	Advantages	Disadvantages
Userspace	Initial default mode, watches Kubernetes API server for changes in services and endpoints, creates userspace proxy server for each service port

EliFuzz

Aspect	Description	Example	Solution
Data Synchronization	Data inconsistency issues among multiple servers or resources	User updates profile on one server but not on another	Implement data replication, caching, locking
Session Persistence	Disrupted user sessions due to lack of shared session information	User loses authentication or shopping

EliFuzz

Aspect	Description
Metrics Collection	Service meshes collect metrics about service performance, latency, error rates, and other relevant indicators. Helps identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues, and optimize service behavior. Popular monitoring system Integrations include Prometheus with Istio and Linked
Logging	Service meshes generate logs containing information about incomin

EliFuzz

Aspect	Description
Encryption	Service meshes encrypt communications between services using industry-standard protocols such as TLS or SSL. Default enablement by Istio ensures confidentiality and tamper-proofing of data transmitted between services
Authentication	Service meshes use standard authentication protocols like OIDC or JWT to authenticate clients and service

EliFuzz

Aspect	Description
Retry Policies	Configure the number of retries, delay between retries, and other parameters when a service fails to respond. Helps prevent cascading failures and reduce the likelihood of timeouts. Envoy, a popular service mesh proxy, offers robust retry policies out of the box
Timeouts	Set timeouts for individual services or circuits to prevent hung requests that can cause service instability. The service mesh can redirect the request t

EliFuzz

Aspect	Description
Dual-Track Development	Developing two branches of a service in parallel, one for bug fixes and maintenance (blue branch), and another for new features and innovation (green branch)
Continuous Integration and Deployment	Automating the build, test, and deployment processes using continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines
Traffic Shifting	Gradually routing traffic from the old version (blue) to the new version (green) after the new version has been verified and validated

EliFuzz

Aspect	Definition
Gradual Rollout	Incremental introduction of a new service version into production, starting with a small percentage of traffic and gradually increasing
A/B Testing	Compares the performance of two versions of a service, typically the old and new versions, to evaluate the effectiveness of changes
Rolling Update	Upgrading instances of a service one at a time, rather than all at once, to minimize disruption and ensure availability
