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.

Kong Mesh
Enterprise service mesh based on Kuma for multi-cloud and multi-cluster on both Kubernetes and VMs. Deploy with a single command. Connect to other services automatically with built-in service discovery, including an Ingress resource and remote CPs. Support across any environment, including multi-cluster, multi-cloud and multi-platform on both Kubernetes and VMs. Accelerate initiatives like zero-trust and GDPR with native mesh policies, improving the speed and efficiency of every application team. Deploy a single control plane that can scale horizontally to many data planes, or support multiple clusters or even hybrid service meshes running on both Kubernetes and VMs combined. Simplify cross-zone communication using an Envoy-based ingress deployment on both Kubernetes and VMs, as well as the built-in DNS resolver for service-to-service communication. Built on top of Envoy with 50+ observability charts out of the box, you can collect metrics, traces, and logs of all L4-L7 traffic.

Solo Enterprise
Solo Enterprise provides a unified cloud-native application networking and connectivity platform that helps enterprises securely connect, scale, manage, and observe APIs, microservices, and intelligent AI workloads across distributed environments, especially Kubernetes-based and multi-cluster infrastructures. Its core capabilities are built on open source technologies such as Envoy and Istio and include Gloo Gateway for omnidirectional API management (handling external, internal, and third-party traffic with security, authentication, traffic routing, observability, and analytics), Gloo Mesh for centralized multi-cluster service mesh control (simplifying service-to-service connectivity and security across clusters), and Agentgateway/Gloo AI Gateway for secure, governed LLM/AI agent traffic with guardrails and integration support.
