What Is a Kubernetes Service Mesh?
A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-service communication in a distributed microservices architecture. It typically includes features such as service discovery, load balancing, routing, fault tolerance, and monitoring. It also provides a uniform way for services to communicate with each other.
The goal of a service mesh is to reduce the complexity of managing communication between microservices and make it easier to scale and maintain a distributed system.
