tags: #publish links: [[AWS]] created: 2020-10-02 Fri --- # AWS App Mesh https://docs.aws.amazon.com/app-mesh/latest/userguide/what-is-app-mesh.html Uses [[Envoy Proxy]] as a service mesh proxy. You run Envoy next to each service, and App Mesh configures the proxy for communications and metrics. Can be used with most compute services including [[EC2]], ECS, EKS, Kubernetes on AWS. - Intent is to get visibility, security and control over communication between your services. - For inter-service - within an AWS region - not external traffic: you're supposed to use regular load balancers for that. - Includes client-side traffic control and routing features e.g. to specific service versions to assist microservice deployment.
