As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application.

Open Service Mesh (OSM) is a lightweight, extensible, cloud-native service mesh that allows users to uniformly manage, secure, and get out-of-the-box observability features for highly dynamic microservice environments. The OSM project builds on the ideas and implementations of many cloud-native ecosystem projects including Linkerd, Istio, Consul, Envoy, Kuma, Helm, and the SMI specification. OSM runs an Envoy based control plane on Kubernetes, can be configured with SMI APIs, and works by injecting an Envoy proxy as a sidecar container next to each instance of your application. ...
