Intro to OpenShift Service Mesh

OpenShift 4 has introduced official support for service mesh based on Istio framework. This support is built on top of Maistra operator. Maistra is an opinionated distribution of Istio designed to work with Openshift. It combines Kiali, Jaeger, and Prometheus into a platform managed by the operator. The current version of OpenShift Service Mesh is 1.1.5. According to the documentation, this version of the service mesh supports Istio 1.4.8. Also, for creating this tutorial I was using OpenShift 4.4 installed on Azure.
