This is a command line interface for Backyards, the Banzai Cloud automated service mesh, built on Istio.

Pre-built binaries are available in multiple package formats. Download the latest release.

To build a binary (under build/) from the source code, clone the repo and then run from the root:

$ make build

To install Istio, all Backyards components and a demo application on a brand new cluster, you just need to issue one command (KUBECONFIG must be set for your cluster):

$ backyards install -a --run-demo

This command first installs Istio with our open-source Istio operator, then installs Backyards components as well as a demo application for demonstration purposes. After the installation of each component has finished, the Backyards UI will automatically open and send some traffic to the demo application. By issuing this one simple command you can watch as Backyards starts a brand new Istio service mesh in just a few minutes!

The following components can be installed/uninstalled individually as well with the CLI (the -a flag installs/uninstalls them all):

• istio: backyards istio [install|uninstall]
• canary-operator: backyards canary [install|uninstall]
• cert-manager: backyards cert-manager [install|uninstall]
• backyards (backend and UI): backyards [install|uninstall]
• demo application: backyards demoapp [install|uninstall]

• Istio can be installed with a customized CR with: backyards istio install -f your_istio_cr.yaml
• The Backyards UI can be opened with: backyards dashboard
• You can display a graph with the most important RED metrics of your cluster with: backyards graph
• Traffic Shifting can be configured
• Circuit Breaking can be configured
