What Is the Anypoint Platform?

The Anypoint Platform is an iPaaS (Platform as a Service) Solution from Mulesoft where you can create, manage, discover, secure and deploy your API and connect your application to form a structured application network. 

It is further classified into two different sections:

Kubernetes Security Essentials

Covering the essentials of security in Kubernetes environments, this Refcard addresses the three primary areas of attack within a Kubernetes cluster. Security concepts range from the software supply chain β€” images, build systems, and container registry security β€” to Kubernetes infrastructure, as well as deploy-time and runtime security. Key examples like threat vectors, security measures, and vulnerability and violation types within each section will help you continue strengthening your Kubernetes environment security as you automate and scale the deployment and management of your cloud-native applications.

Microservices and Service Mesh at A Glance

What Is a Service Mesh?

As enterprises are moving from monolithic to microservices/distributed microservices to achieve more resiliency and performance, service mesh has a key role in that kind of digital transformation.

A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-service communication. It’s responsible for the reliable delivery of requests through the complex topology of services that comprise a modern, cloud-native application. In practice, the service mesh is typically implemented as an array of lightweight network proxies that are deployed alongside application code, without the application needing to be aware. Service mesh has mainly two major components β€” the control plane and the data plane, which decouples the business logic from technical complexities.
