Infrastructure Management

Guides for understanding Meshery’s ability to manage infrastructure.

  • Overview - Meshery provides the ability to manage infrastructure for agility, maintainability, diversity, reliability and isolation, security, and speed.
  • Registering a Connection - Use the Connection Wizard to create and update Connections - Kubernetes clusters, Grafana, Prometheus, and more - in your Meshery deployment.
  • Configuring Meshery Operator, MeshSync, and Broker - Tune how Meshery deploys and operates Meshery Operator, MeshSync, and Meshery Broker on your clusters - deployment modes, discovery scope, secret handling, service networking, and the behavioral impact of every setting.
  • Bringing Existing Infrastructure Under Meshery Management - What happens when you point Meshery at a cluster that is already running workloads - how brownfield discovery works, what to evaluate before you connect, the end-to-end process, and the caveats.
  • Deploying a Design - Validate, dry-run, deploy, and undeploy a Meshery Design on the Kubernetes clusters in your Environments, and read the deployment results.
  • Sharing a Cluster with Your Team - Give your teammates access to a Kubernetes cluster you manage in Meshery by grouping it into an Environment, attaching the Environment to a Workspace, and assigning teams to the Workspace.
  • Kubernetes Connection Lifecycle - What happens end-to-end when Meshery manages a Kubernetes cluster - the connection states, the in-cluster components (Operator, Broker/NATS, MeshSync), MeshSync deployment modes, how Meshery reaches and authenticates to the Broker, the built-in Diagnostics, and how to operate and troubleshoot it all.
  • Envoy WASM Filter Management - Import, inspect, publish, and remove Envoy WebAssembly (WASM) filters with Meshery UI and mesheryctl.
  • GitOps with Meshery - Add Meshery's GitHub Actions to your pipelines to render a visual snapshot of your infrastructure on each pull request and to catch performance regressions before you merge.
  • Managing Connections - Find, inspect, transition, reconfigure, and remove the Connections Meshery manages, from Meshery UI or mesheryctl.
  • Managing Events with Notification Center - Meshery tracks operations performed on your infrastructure and workloads, and provides notification of environment issues, application conflicts with infrastructure configuration, policy violations, and so on.
