Introducing OpenShift Service Mesh 3.1

Share Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3. 1 has been released and is included with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus. Based on the Istio, Envoy, and Kiali projects, this release updates the version of Istio to 1. 26 and Kiali to 2. 11 , and is supported on OpenShift Container Platform 4. 16 and above. This is the first minor release following Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3. 0, a major update to converge OpenShift Service Mesh with the community Istio project, with installation and management using the Sail operator. This change helps ensure that OpenShift Service Mesh can offer the latest stable Istio features with Red Hat support. If you are running OpenShift Service Mesh 2. 6 or earlier releases, you must upgrade to OpenShift Service Mesh 3. 0 before upgrading to 3.
