Chapter 1. Introducing the Service Mesh
What Is a Service Mesh?
Service meshes provide policy-based, network services for network-connected workloads by enforcing desired behavior of the network in the face of constantly changing conditions and topology. Conditions that change can be load, configuration, resources (including those affecting infrastructure and application topology of intracluster and intercluster resources coming and going), and workloads being deployed.
Fundamentals
Service meshes are an addressable infrastructure layer that allow you to manage both modernizing existing monolithic (or other) workloads as well as wrangling the sprawl of microservices. Service meshes are an addressable infrastructure layer brought to bear in full force. They’re beneficial in monolithic environments, but we’ll blame the microservices and containers movement—the cloud native approach to designing scalable, independently delivered services—for their brisk emergence. Microservices have exploded what were internal application communications into a mesh of service-to-service remote procedure calls (RPCs) transported over networks. Among their many benefits, microservices provide democratization of language and technology choice across independent service teams—teams that create new features quickly as they iteratively and continuously deliver software (typically as a service).
The field of networking being so vast, it’s no surprise that there are many subtle, near-imperceptible differences ...
