Gloo Mesh

Gloo Mesh simplifies service mesh adoption across various clouds and clusters, whether you're dealing with containers or virtual machines. Powered by Istio, Gloo Mesh empowers platform engineering teams to boost security, resiliency, and observability.

Why Gloo Mesh?

Managing multi-cluster and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments can be complex, especially when it comes to scaling, securing, and monitoring cloud-native apps. Sometimes, the upstream open-source or commodity service mesh options don’t meet enterprise needs for features, scalability, security, and reliability. With Gloo Mesh, you get more observability, simplified manageability and more control over your application security at scale.
