Google Cloud Traffic Director
By Google
4.3/5
(6)
Product Description
Service mesh is a powerful abstraction that's become increasingly popular to deliver microservices and modern applications. In a service mesh, the service mesh data plane, with service proxies like Envoy, moves the traffic around and the service mesh control plane provides policy, configuration, and intelligence to these service proxies. Traffic Director is GCP's fully managed traffic control plane for service mesh. With Traffic Director, easily deploy global load balancing across clusters and VM instances in multiple regions, offload health checking from service proxies, and configure sophisticated traffic control policies.
