Getting Involved

Istio is an open source project with an active community that supports its use and on-going development. We’d love for you to join us and get involved! There are quite a few ways to get plugged in:

Head for the Istio discussion board to ask questions, participate in discussions, and get help troubleshooting problems. You can use your GitHub ID (or Google, Twitter or Yahoo) to log in!

Stack Overflow is for practical questions and curated answers on deploying, configuring, and using Istio.

Attend events on our Community calendar.

GitHub is where development takes place on Istio code.

If you’re contributing code to Istio (or thinking about contributing!), you can join us on Istio’s Slack channel. Fill out this form to join.

If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of Istio, check out our growing collection of design documents. To access these, simply join the istio-team-drive-access@ group. Once you’ve done that, you can head straight to our folder full of technical goodies.

If you’d like to contribute to the Istio project, learn how we do things and consider participating in our working groups.

Our Chinese-language documentation is maintained by the ServiceMesher community, join us and get involved!
