Mastering Service Mesh

Emerging trends

Integration between different service meshes is emerging. Let's take a look:

• We can extend the same service mesh control plane to multiple Kubernetes clusters, provided that each cluster has its own distinct IP address range.
• We can bring VMs, bare-metal, or other monolithic applications into the service mesh for traffic management and telemetry.
• We can have multiple Kubernetes clusters, with each having their control plane replicating the state of each group.
• We can have a federated service mesh, where each cluster runs its own control and data plane.

A service mesh provides us with a way to abstract security, traffic, monitoring, and so on outside the application code without the need for any application-specific libraries. ...
