An Istio ServiceEntry is an object within the Istio service mesh that allows you to extend the mesh to external endpoints or internal services that are not part of the platform’s service registry. ServiceEntries allow you to specify details such as hostname, port, and protocol for the external service, as well as the resolution mode to use when accessing it. You can use ServiceEntries to apply Istio features such as load balancing, protocol switching, and authentication to external services. You can also view ServiceEntries in the Kiali graphical representation of the service mesh. ServiceEntries are useful in a variety of scenarios, including when you want to connect to external services or when you have multiple clusters and need to extend the mesh across them.
