How can you optimize AZ traffic costs with Istio while aiming for high availability (HA)? In this video, learn how to achieve redundancy at scale in Kubernetes, while managing the AZ traffic and infrastructure costs of running such environments. Lukonde Mwila demonstrates an approach on how you can use pod affinity, Istio and Karpenter to achieve this.
