Introduction

I started to get in touch with Istio from 2020, when the Istio version was still around 1.6-ish. I was not the person who introduced Istio to the company, there was another engineer who was also a newbie to Istio, spending some time studying it, then installed and created the initial setup of istio eco system, and the company started to use it.
