Focus group<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This post is aimed at engineers who are already familiar with microservices, Kubernetes, AWS, Amazon EKS.<\/p>\n

Problem statement<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With increasing microservices deployment on Kubernetes, Businesses will require a method of centralizing the discovery, management, and security of services independent of language, domain, or deployment model. This is the point where a service mesh comes into the picture.<\/p>\n

Introduction to AWS Service mesh<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that you can add to your applications. It allows you to transparently add capabilities like observability, traffic management, and security, without adding them to code. The primary goal here is to have service-to-service communication in a secure, fast, and reliable fashion.<\/p>\n

\"App<\/a><\/p>\n

In the above architecture, microservices frontend backend and Postgres interact with each other through envoy sidecar proxy.<\/p>\n

Implementation of Service Mesh AWS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the implementation, we are going to leverage Amazon EKS, AWS APP mesh.<\/p>\n

Amazon EKS is a managed service used to run Kubernetes on AWS without any necessity for installation, operation, and maintenance for your own Kubernetes control plane or nodes.<\/p>\n

AWS App Mesh helps to connect services, monitor the application\u2019s network, and control the traffic flow. App Mesh standardizes how services communicate, giving end-to-end visibility and helping to ensure the high availability of your applications.<\/p>\n

The App Mesh gives you consistent visibility and network traffic controls for every service in an application.<\/p>\n
