Lifecycle Management

Service Mesh Lifecycle Management

Meshery supports a number of different service meshes, so that you can learn and compare different service mesh functionality. Once you have selected to operate a given service mesh, Meshery will assist you with ongoing activities.

Deploying a service mesh

Meshery automates the provisioning of various service meshes, allowing users to select different configuration profiles in order to support a variety of deployment models.

Meshery adapters will dynamically retrieve the specific service mesh’s release package upon initial deployment of a given service mesh. Meshery adapters cache (in .meshery/bin) the service mesh installation package.

Installing sample applications

Commonly adjoining each service mesh is a sample application that facilitates demonstration of the value of the given service mesh. Meshery allows you to efficiently deploy the same sample application across different service meshes.

Use custom service mesh configuration

Meshery provides the ability for you as a service mesh manager to customize your service mesh deployment.

Deleting a service mesh

Just as Meshery automates the provisioning of various service meshes, so does it facilitate the deprovisioning of service meshes.

Notifications

Meshery tracks service mesh and application health. Meshery provides notification of environment issues, application conflicts with service mesh configuration.

Acknowledging and dismissing notifications

Many notifications are informational and can readily be dismissed after reading. Some notifications include actionable alerts.

Taking action on alerts

Particular notifications that Meshery presents are immediately actionable. These are denoted by a red colored highlight. Be on the lookout for these alerts and take action promptly to ensure a smooth running service mesh.
