Gloo Mesh by Solo.io simplifies service mesh adoption across clouds and clusters, whether using containers or virtual machines. Powered by Istio, Gloo Mesh boosts security, resiliency, and observability for platform engineering teams. Managing multi-cluster and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments can be complex, particularly in scaling, securing, and monitoring cloud-native apps. Sometimes, upstream open-source or commodity service mesh options don’t meet enterprise needs for features, scalability, security, and reliability. With Gloo Mesh, you get more observability, simplified manageability, and more control over application security at scale. Secure traffic to your application with automatic mTLS, making applications more resilient and safe. Use GitOps to automate and centrally manage across multi-cloud and multi-cluster environments. Platform Engineers can easily add security and observability of service-to-service traffic across distributed applications. Gloo Mesh is great for implementing Zero-Trust with mTLS for microservices-based applications and simplifying architecture without sidecars. With Ambient, you eliminate the need for separate proxy containers alongside each microservice, streamlining your architecture and reducing resource management costs. Replace AWS, Azure, or GCP service mesh to go multi-cloud, reduce costs, or harness Gloo’s advanced traffic management and security features. Gloo Mesh provides enterprise-grade Istio and Cilium support with multi-cluster insights and resilience for secure service communications. It enhances and hardens the Istio distribution for production, adding functionality to service mesh, reducing complexity, and increasing security, reliability, and observability for applications and microservices connectivity. Gloo Mesh allows users to run both Istio sidecar-proxy mode and Ambient Mesh mode, providing flexibility to manage costs, operational simplicity, and performance aligned to application needs. Gloo Mesh supports ambient workloads in Kubernetes clusters at no additional cost. Simply install Istio with the ambient profile and onboard workloads to an ambient mesh to experience benefits: Waypoint proxy lifecycle management, customization, multitenancy, zero trust with Gloo workspaces, observability with Gloo UI and Prometheus, protection of ambient workloads with Gloo traffic policies, and central management with Gloo N-4 release support.
