What is service mesh kubernetes?

Question

Could someone tell me what a service mesh in Kubernetes?

Answer 1

A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that sits above CNI and builds on its capabilities like security and service discovery for handling service-to-service communications. A service mesh includes a data plane and a control plane as its components.

In layman’s terms, a service mesh in Kubernetes defines a way to configure and control how different parts of the applications share data with each other.
