Description
Effortless traffic management for your service mesh. A service mesh is a robust framework that has gained traction for facilitating microservices and contemporary applications. Within this framework, the data plane, featuring service proxies such as Envoy, directs the traffic, while the control plane oversees policies, configurations, and intelligence for these proxies. Google Cloud Platform's Traffic Director acts as a fully managed traffic control system for service mesh. By utilizing Traffic Director, you can seamlessly implement global load balancing across various clusters and virtual machine instances across different regions, relieve service proxies of health checks, and set up advanced traffic control policies. Notably, Traffic Director employs open xDSv2 APIs to interact with the service proxies in the data plane, ensuring that users are not confined to a proprietary interface. This flexibility allows for easier integration and adaptability in various operational environments.
