I’m especially keen to show how Java EE / Jakarta EE and MicroProfile play along and complement each other.

Istio version 1.0 comes with a networking API that comprises a lot of features and covers a variety of scenarios.
The networking API has evolved in the last couple of months and might not be self-explanatory, right away.
