I wrote about the key concepts about service mesh and how to evaluate the requirements for a service mesh in my previous post here: Deciphering the hype of Service Mesh . This post is a follow up from there covering the technical aspects. Part 1: Deciphering the hype of Service Mesh Part 2: Understanding The Ingress and The Mesh components of Service Mesh. Part 3: Uderstanding the observability component of Service Mesh (TBD in another post). Almost all popular service mesh technologies/tools (eg: Istio, LinkerD) have both ingress and mesh capabilities. Conceptually, I see them as 2 mutually exclusive domain (integrated nicely by the underlying tool). Understanding the ingress and the mesh components individually, such as what they offer, what I can do with them etc, was the basic building block to my understanding of service mesh technology as a whole. This is arguably the most mis-represented topic in the internet. So, I thought, I will share my point of view. Note: The ob
