Kuma Description
Open-source control plane for service mesh. It provides security, observability and routing. Kuma, built on top of Envoy is a modern control plan for Microservices & Service Mesh, both for VMs and K8s. It supports multiple meshes within a cluster. The L4 + L7 policy architecture is out of the box to enable zero trust security and traffic reliability. Kuma is easy to set up and use. Kuma is natively embedded with Envoy proxy. It provides easy-to-use policies that can secure and observe, connect, route, and improve service connectivity for all applications and services, including databases. Modern service and application connectivity can be built across any platform, cloud, and architecture. Kuma supports Kubernetes environments, Virtual Machine workloads, and modern Kubernetes environments in the same cluster. Kuma also provides native multi-cloud connectivity and multi-cluster connectivity that can support the entire organization.

Google Cloud Traffic Director
Your service mesh will be managed without any effort. Service mesh is an abstraction that's becoming increasingly popular to deliver modern applications and microservices. The service mesh data plane with Envoy service proxies moves traffic around, while the service mesh control plan provides policy, configuration and intelligence to these service proxy proxies. Traffic Director is GCP’s fully managed traffic control plan for service mesh. Traffic Director allows you to easily deploy global load balancing across clusters or VM instances in multiple locations, offload health checks from service proxies, as well as configure complex traffic control policies. Traffic Director uses open xDSv2 interfaces to communicate with service proxies in data plane. This ensures that you don't have to use a proprietary interface.

Gloo Mesh
Modern cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes environments require assistance with scaling, securing, and monitoring. Gloo Mesh, utilizing the Istio service mesh, streamlines the management of service mesh for multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments. By incorporating Gloo Mesh into their platform, engineering teams can benefit from enhanced application agility, lower costs, and reduced risks. Gloo Mesh is a modular element of Gloo Platform.
The service mesh allows for autonomous management of application-aware network tasks separate from the application, leading to improved observability, security, and dependability of distributed applications. Implementing a service mesh into your applications can simplify the application layer, provide greater insights into traffic, and enhance application security.

Kong Mesh
Kuma Enterprise Service Mesh based on Kuma to multi-cloud and multi cluster on Kubernetes as well as VMs. You can deploy with one command. With built-in service discovery, connect to other services automatically. This includes an Ingress resource as well as remote CPs. Support for any environment, including multicluster, multicloud, and multiplatform on Kubernetes as well as VMs. Native mesh policies can be used to accelerate initiatives such as zero-trust or GDPR, and improve the efficiency and speed of each application team. A single control plane can scale horizontally to multiple data planes, support multiple clusters, or even hybrid service meshes that run on Kubernetes and both VMs. Envoy-based ingress deployments on Kubernetes or VMs can simplify cross-zone communication. You can collect metrics, trace and logs for all L4-L7 traffic using Envoy's 50+ observability charts.

Gloo Edge
Gloo Edge, an Envoy-based API gateway that acts as an ingress controller and a gateway to Gloo Edge, facilitates and secures application traffic at the edge. An API gateway is able to receive requests from clients (e.g. An API gateway receives requests from clients (e.g., web and mobile apps or applications and services located in the cloud or mixed-in hybrid environments) and manages access to the appropriate services within its domain. The API gateway is located in the data plane. It provides services such as security, reliability and filtering, transformations, routing, and routing. The API gateway can offer higher-level services like high availability, load balance, failover, zero trust security, tracing and metrics gathering. Gloo Edge, a Kubernetes-native next-generation API Gateway, uses Envoy Proxy to monitor, secure, and observe traffic at its edge.
