Day Two Cloud 173: Istio Ambient Mesh Minimizes Sidecar Proxies

From The Everything Feed - All Packet Pushers Pods Packet Pushers Team

Today on Day Two Cloud we examine Istio Ambient Mesh, a new option for building service meshes in a microservices environment. Istio Ambient Mesh essentially brings the concept of a load balancer to a cluster of containers. Rather than run a sidecar proxy for each pod or container, you can run Ambient Mesh per node. Our guest and guide to this open source project is Christian Posta, Global Field CTO at Solo.io.
