### Pick your service mesh:



- AWS App Mesh - AWS App Mesh is a service mesh that provides application-level networking to make it easy for your services to communicate with each other across multiple types of copute infrastructure. App Mesh standardizes how your services communicate, giving you end-to-end visiblity and ensureing high-availability for your applications.



- Istio for Kubernetes - Istio is the most popular service mesh for the Kubernetes community.



- Linkerd for Kubernetes - Linkerd service mesh.



- Envoy - Most service meshes are based upon Envoy. This section discusses Envoy capabilities, and mentions some Envoy based tools and products.
