I'm starting to work with Istio, and while I've had some exposure to it, I'm not very experienced yet. Besides the official documentation, I'm looking for recommendations for books, courses, or video series that can help me learn. I prefer resources that minimize the use of AI for learning. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I’m currently diving into 'Istio in Action' by Christian E. Posta and Rinor Maloku. It's been great so far, packed with examples and really well-explained concepts. Just reached chapter 5, and I can confidently recommend it as a solid resource for learning Istio.
I took a Udemy course called 'Istio Hands-On for Kubernetes' that was quite decent. It helped me understand what Istio is capable of, but I still felt a bit unsure even after finishing. My best advice is to set it up and test its out-of-the-box features first. That hands-on experience is invaluable, and you’ll learn a lot through trial and error.
Totally agree with this advice! I enjoyed the course too, but I'd love to find another one specifically focusing on Ambient mode.
