Panel: The State Of Service Mesh
summary
Panelists summarize that service mesh delivers observability, security and routing/policy from the platform so application teams stop reimplementing connectivity, but adoption requires a platform team and attention to day‑2 operations and upgrades. Projects report concrete work: Linkerd pushes mTLS and identity wired through and extensions for Linkerd (2.10+), Kuma targets multi‑zone Kubernetes + VMs and adaptive routing, Istio sees managed control planes, and Solo.io builds Envoy/WebAssembly integration and a developer portal — all production‑ready but operationally nontrivial.
