About Kuma

The open-source control plane for service mesh, delivering security, observability, routing and more. Built on top of Envoy, Kuma is a modern control plane for Microservices & Service Mesh for both K8s and VMs, with support for multiple meshes in one cluster. Out of the box L4 + L7 policy architecture to enable zero trust security, observability, discovery, routing and traffic reliability in one click. Getting up and running with Kuma only requires three easy steps. Natively embedded with Envoy proxy, Kuma Delivers easy to use policies that can secure, observe, connect, route and enhance service connectivity for every application and services, databases included. Build modern service and application connectivity across every platform, cloud and architecture. Kuma supports modern Kubernetes environments and Virtual Machine workloads in the same cluster, with native multi-cloud and multi-cluster connectivity to support the entire organization.

Google Cloud Traffic Director
Google Cloud Traffic Director
Toil-free traffic management for your service mesh. Service mesh is a powerful abstraction that's become increasingly popular to deliver microservices and modern applications. In a service mesh, the service mesh data plane, with service proxies like Envoy, moves the traffic around and the service mesh control plane provides policy, configuration, and intelligence to these service proxies. Traffic Director is GCP's fully managed traffic control plane for service mesh. With Traffic Director, you can easily deploy global load balancing across clusters and VM instances in multiple regions, offload health checking from service proxies, and configure sophisticated traffic control policies. Traffic Director uses open xDSv2 APIs to communicate with the service proxies in the data plane, which ensures that you are not locked into a proprietary interface.
