Summary
App Mesh is an important component when we are deploying our services in an orchestration system such as EKS. In this chapter, we saw the architecture of App Mesh and understood all the terminologies and its functionality. We deployed an EKS cluster and enabled App Mesh in it. After that, we deployed a polyglot application on EKS and then visualized the trace details using X-Ray. We also enabled mTLS between the services to secure the communication. We did all these things in a non-production EKS cluster. In the next chapter, we will learn how to deploy a fully private production-grade EKS cluster.
