Istio Service Mesh: A Primer
Microservices architectures enhance the ability for modern software teams to deliver applications at scale and have expanded the distributed nature of application. But as an application’s footprint grows, the challenge is to understand and control interactions among services within these environments. Enabling Service Mesh controls the communication, configuration and behavior of microservices in an application. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-service communication in any microservice, public cloud or Kubernetes architecture.
