With the rise of
cloud-native architectures built on containers distributed
microservices, developers are encountering challenges with
visibility, management, and control of these new applications. The
Service Mesh concept was created to address and overcome these
challenges.
On the 15th
episode of the Virtual Stack Podcast, I’m joined by Mark
Schweighardt, Director of Product Marketing in the Network &
Security Business Unit (NSBU) of VMware. Together with Mike, we
discuss about the Service Mesh concept, cloud-native applications,
Istio/Envoy, and VMware’s upcoming Service Mesh solution, VMware
NSX Service Mesh.
You can reach out

Hope you enjoy
