What is Ambient Mesh?

Ambient mesh is a new way to implement a service mesh without sidecars. Ambient mesh transparently adds security, observability, traffic control and resilience to your service to service communication.

Get started

Understanding Ambient Mesh

Ambient mesh is the easiest way to get Zero-Trust based security with mTLS, FIPS compliance alongside observability, and traffic control between applications and services.

  • Simple deployment - no sidecars required
  • Enables incremental adoption of service mesh
  • Based on proven, open standards

Get Started Now

To get started, install ambient mesh into your Kubernetes cluster with the following command and label the namespaces with workloads.

>_
              curl -sSL https://get.ambientmesh.io | bash -
