Description

In 2.2.10-RC1, we support some microservices governance alibities, such as Label Routing and Authentication. If you don't know, you can refer to relevant examples to discovery them:) But now, it's hard for users to use them easily. Because we didn't support a console that helps use to observe applications and modify application's configuration. In Istio's ecology, there is an out of the box component called Kiali that can do it. We can use it as a console to provide users with the ability to control microservices governance. You can view the configuration management capabilities it provides through the following documents and figure: image

Research direction
Investigate integrating Kiali as a microservices governance console for Spring Cloud Alibaba. Refer to the existing governance examples at https://github.com/alibaba/spring cloud alibaba/tree/2.2.x/spring cloud alibaba examples/governance example to understand current capabilities. Explore Kiali documentation on configuration management and determine how to bridge it with Spring Cloud Alibaba's routing and authentication features. The issue lacks specific implementation details, so a feasibility study and proposal with minimal viable integration is needed first.
