DescriptionTable of ContentsDetailsHashtagsReport an issue
Author Lee Calcote, founder and CEO of Layer5, shows developers, operators, architects, and IT leaders how to evaluate your organization's readiness for using a service mesh-and provides a clear path to help you adopt one. You'll evaluate several factors when deciding which applications should be built from the ground up and which can be converted with a new service mesh architecture.
This updated edition discusses several service meshes available and the tools you need to implement them. You'll explore:
- Service mesh concepts, architecture, and components, such as control planes and data planes;
- How a service mesh provides observability, resiliency, security, and traffic control of distributed application services;
- Differences among service meshes and service mesh components from several vendors;
- How service meshes compare to related technologies, including container orchestrators, API gateways, and client-side libraries;
- Practical steps for service mesh adoption, deployment, customization, and integration;
- The intelligence of the service mesh management plane and the power of the data plane.
