It’s worth noting that these services have no dependencies on Kubernetes and Istio, but make an interesting case study. Particularly, the multitude of services, languages and versions for the reviews service make it an interesting service mesh example. More information about this example can be found [here](https://istio.io/docs/samples/bookinfo.html).

Title: Deploying Bookinfo Application in Kubernetes

Summary

The Bookinfo application, composed of microservices available as Docker Hub images, can be deployed in Kubernetes using YAML configurations. The services are independent of Kubernetes and Istio, making them a valuable service mesh case study, especially the Reviews service with its diverse languages and versions. This section focuses on deploying version 1 of the Bookinfo application in Kubernetes.
