Description

Kuma provides an enterprise service mesh that seamlessly operates across multiple clouds and clusters, whether on Kubernetes or virtual machines. With just a single command, users can deploy the service mesh and automatically connect to other services through its integrated service discovery features, which include Ingress resources and remote control planes. This solution is versatile enough to function in any environment, efficiently managing resources across multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and multi-platform settings. By leveraging native mesh policies, organizations can enhance their zero-trust and GDPR compliance initiatives, thereby boosting the performance and productivity of application teams. The architecture allows for the deployment of a singular control plane that can effectively scale horizontally to accommodate numerous data planes, or to support various clusters, including hybrid service meshes that integrate both Kubernetes and virtual machines. Furthermore, cross-zone communication is made easier with Envoy-based ingress deployments across both environments, coupled with a built-in DNS resolver for optimal service-to-service interactions. Built on the robust Envoy framework, Kuma also offers over 50 observability charts right out of the box, enabling the collection of metrics, traces, and logs for all Layer 4 to Layer 7 traffic, thereby providing comprehensive insights into service performance and health. This level of observability not only enhances troubleshooting but also contributes to a more resilient and reliable service architecture.

Description

Kuma is an open-source control plane designed for service mesh that provides essential features such as security, observability, and routing capabilities. It is built on the Envoy proxy and serves as a contemporary control plane for microservices and service mesh, compatible with both Kubernetes and virtual machines, allowing for multiple meshes within a single cluster. Its built-in architecture supports L4 and L7 policies to facilitate zero trust security, traffic reliability, observability, and routing with minimal effort. Setting up Kuma is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in just three simple steps. With Envoy proxy integrated, Kuma offers intuitive policies that enhance service connectivity, ensuring secure and observable interactions between applications, services, and even databases. This powerful tool enables the creation of modern service and application connectivity across diverse platforms, cloud environments, and architectures. Additionally, Kuma seamlessly accommodates contemporary Kubernetes setups alongside virtual machine workloads within the same cluster and provides robust multi-cloud and multi-cluster connectivity to meet the needs of the entire organization effectively. By adopting Kuma, teams can streamline their service management and improve overall operational efficiency.
