Cloud Service Mesh

Cloud Service Mesh is a Google-managed service: if there is a problem, our operators get paged, not yours. You don't have to worry about deploying and managing the control plane, which means your people can focus on your business.

With Cloud Service Mesh, you can control traffic flows and API calls between services while also gaining visibility into your traffic. This makes calls more reliable and your network more robust, even in adverse conditions, while enabling you to catch issues before they become problems.

Securing your service mesh can feel daunting. Cloud Service Mesh helps you embrace a zero-trust security model by giving you the tools to automatically and declaratively secure your services and their communication. You can manage authentication, authorization, and encryption between services with a diverse set of features—all with little or no changes to the applications themselves.

Even with robust failure-recovery features, it’s critical to test your mesh’s resilience. That’s where fault injection comes in. You can easily configure delay and abort faults to be injected into requests that match certain conditions, and even restrict the percentage of requests that should be subjected to faults.

Decide who has access to what services in your mesh with easy-to-use role-based access control (RBAC). You specify the permissions, then grant access to them at the level you choose, from namespace all the way down to users.
