how to achieve high perfomance with istio

I had installed istio on kubernets(hosted on aws ) and exposed a service as a via istio ingress. I could achieve very less through put < 2000 requests per minute. I exposed the service as a standard ELB, I was able to achieve >600,000 request per sec. Is there any guide/steps to tune istio for high performance ? Thanks Joji

One thing we recommend users to do is to switch to the non-debug image for the envoy side car, e.g. replace docker.io/istio/proxy_debug with docker.io/istio/proxy in the istio and istio-initializer yaml file and redeploy istio. We are also working on reduce mixer traces. Performance is an area we are very actively working on in the next release of Istio and we welcome contribution to this!
