Anthos Service Mesh

• Service Mesh
  • A service mesh controls how parts of an application communicate and share data
  • Dedicated infrastructure layer
  • Requests to services are routed through proxies, also known as sidecars
  • Proxies implement policies to support a service, such as security or logging
  • Microservices don't need to implement these features within the service
• Based on Istio
• Provides for Traffic Management, Observability, and Security

Cloud Run for Anthos

• Compute service for stateless containers
