1. Traffic Management Resources

1. 流量管理资源

ResourcePurposeScope
VirtualServiceRoute traffic to destinationsHost-based
DestinationRuleDefine policies after routingService-based
GatewayConfigure ingress/egressCluster edge
ServiceEntryAdd external servicesMesh-wide
资源用途作用范围
VirtualService将流量路由到目标服务基于主机
DestinationRule定义路由后的策略基于服务
Gateway配置入口/出口流量集群边缘
ServiceEntry添加外部服务全网格

2. Traffic Flow

2. 流量流向

Client → Gateway → VirtualService → DestinationRule → Service

Best Practices

最佳实践

Do's

建议事项

  • Start simple - Add complexity incrementally
  • Use subsets - Version your services clearly
  • Set timeouts - Always configure reasonable timeouts
  • Enable retries - But with backoff and limits
  • Monitor - Use Kiali and Jaeger for visibility
  • 从简入手 - 逐步增加复杂度
  • 使用子集 - 清晰标记服务版本
  • 设置超时 - 始终配置合理的超时时间
  • 启用重试 - 但需配置退避策略和重试次数限制
  • 监控 - 使用Kiali和Jaeger实现流量可见性

Don'ts

禁忌事项

  • Don't over-retry - Can cause cascading failures
  • Don't ignore outlier detection - Enable circuit breakers
  • Don't mirror to production - Mirror to test environments
  • Don't skip canary - Test with small traffic percentage first
  • 不要过度重试 - 可能导致级联故障
  • 不要忽略异常实例检测 - 启用断路器
  • 不要向生产环境镜像流量 - 仅向测试环境镜像
  • 不要跳过金丝雀部署 - 先使用小流量比例测试

Limitations

局限性

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
  • 仅当任务明确符合上述范围时使用此技能。
  • 请勿将输出结果替代特定环境下的验证、测试或专家评审。
  • 如果缺少所需输入、权限、安全边界或成功标准,请暂停并请求澄清。
