The 48th IT Press Tour had the opportunity to meet with Brian Gracely, CMO, head of marketing and product strategy at Solo.io, a service mesh and API platform for Kubernetes, zero-trust microservices. 

Ambient Mesh

Istio is the leading service mesh project. However, it is complicated and costly. As such, Idit Levine and her team worked to create a new variant. They introduced Ambient Mesh, a new open-source contribution to the Istio project that defines a new sidecar-less data plane. Silo.io and Google are the lead contributors to Istio and Ambient Mesh.
