Definition

App Mesh is a service mesh that provides application-level networking to make it easy for services to communicate with each other across multiple types of compute infrastructure. It standardizes how services communicate, giving you end-to-end visibility and helping to ensure high-availability for your applications. App Mesh uses the Envoy proxy to manage all network traffic into and out of a service, providing consistent traffic control and security features.
