Description

Control Plane is the platform for running unbreakable apps and agents. It combines any cloud, neocloud, and bare metal, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and your own Kubernetes clusters, into one Global Virtual Cloud. Every workload runs active-active across the locations you choose, and a global endpoint sends each request to the nearest healthy location, so a zone, region, or provider outage does not take your service down. It runs serverless, standard, stateful, cron, and VM workloads with no application changes. Workloads reach 600+ AWS, GCP, and Azure services through Universal Cloud Identity, with no long-lived cloud keys in code, and Cloud Wormhole connects them to private VPCs and data centers. Autoscaling, observability, mutual TLS, secrets, and an audit trail are built in, with no Kubernetes cluster to operate. Customers typically cut compute costs 30 to 50 percent compared with running directly on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Description

Kuma provides an enterprise service mesh that seamlessly operates across multiple clouds and clusters, whether on Kubernetes or virtual machines. With just a single command, users can deploy the service mesh and automatically connect to other services through its integrated service discovery features, which include Ingress resources and remote control planes. This solution is versatile enough to function in any environment, efficiently managing resources across multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and multi-platform settings. By leveraging native mesh policies, organizations can enhance their zero-trust and GDPR compliance initiatives, thereby boosting the performance and productivity of application teams. The architecture allows for the deployment of a singular control plane that can effectively scale horizontally to accommodate numerous data planes, or to support various clusters, including hybrid service meshes that integrate both Kubernetes and virtual machines. Furthermore, cross-zone communication is made easier with Envoy-based ingress deployments across both environments, coupled with a built-in DNS resolver for optimal service-to-service interactions. Built on the robust Envoy framework, Kuma also offers over 50 observability charts right out of the box, enabling the collection of metrics, traces, and logs for all Layer 4 to Layer 7 traffic, thereby providing comprehensive insights into service performance and health. This level of observability not only enhances troubleshooting but also contributes to a more resilient and reliable service architecture.
