The Role of Service Meshes in Kubernetes Networking
Service meshes play a crucial role in enhancing security, reliability, and observability in Kubernetes networking. They ensure encrypted and authenticated communication, enable graceful failovers and traffic shifting between clusters, and provide uniform metrics for monitoring workflows. While the classic sidecar model can add complexity and operational burdens, developments like ambient mesh and EBPF offer alternative solutions to improve service mesh architecture.
