Installation and configuration of Anthos Service Mesh is quick and simple. Provides real time tracing of incoming external traffic and internal service to service traffic.

**What do you dislike about Google Anthos Service Mesh?**

Installing service mesh introduces a side car proxy which is a 2nd hop or 2nd layer which adds to the latency to the application end point. Also the side car proxies consume some resources like RAM and CPU. Also the pricing is on higher side if the cluster is not anthos managed.
