Innovation from F5 provides enterprise-ready
service mesh solution with Istio
Today at KubeCon North America, Aspen Mesh, an innovation from
F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV), announced an open public beta of its
fully supported service mesh built on Istio.
As companies move to a model where applications are continuously
developed and deployed, they are leveraging microservices to
effectively build and manage them. However, this often adds
complexity and de-centralizes ownership and control, so companies
are increasingly employing service mesh technology to ensure
resiliency and uptime.
Many companies are adopting Istio as their service mesh of
choice as it provides a toolbox of different features with a broad
range of microservices capabilities. But some critical enterprise
challenges remain, especially around monitoring, managing, and
controlling microservice-based applications at runtime. In
particular, enterprises need feature sets that address
observability, policy, and security.
“Observing, controlling, and securing microservice-based
applications can be a major challenge,” commented William Fellows,
Research Vice President at 451 Research. “A service mesh provides a
myriad of capabilities that make it easier to manage these
containerized applications at runtime. Aspen Mesh simplifies
service mesh implementation through engineering support and a fully
tested and documented version of Istio that makes it easier to get
all the benefits of a service mesh.”
“DevOps represents two teams, Development and Operations, coming
together to deliver better products more rapidly. Service mesh is a
glue that helps unite these teams and provides one place in the
stack that you can manage microservices at runtime without changes
to the application or cluster,” said Shawn Wormke, Incubation Lead
at Aspen Mesh. “The result is a platform that empowers application
developers to focus on their code and allows operators to more
easily provide developers with a resilient, scalable, and secure
environment.”
With this in mind, Aspen Mesh provides critical enterprise
features in a platform built on top of Istio, so organizations
enjoy the benefits of an open source approach without forgoing the
features, support, and guarantees needed to power enterprise
applications.
Specifically, Aspen Mesh builds on the Istio feature set by
providing:
- Advanced policy and configuration
options
- Analytics and alerting
- Multi-cluster/multi-cloud
capabilities
- An intuitive UI
- A fully hosted SaaS platform
- Complete support from our team of
service mesh experts
You can find out more by visiting the Aspen Mesh blog. And you
can take advantage of these features for free and participate in
the beta by signing up for Aspen Mesh access. If you’re attending
KubeCon, swing by the Aspen Mesh booth S29 to talk to the team and
see Aspen Mesh in action.
Aspen Mesh is one of the first projects to come out of F5
Networks’ recently launched corporate incubation program aimed at
developing enhanced solutions to better support modern application
services, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. It also
represents another step F5 is taking toward delivering an easily
consumed portfolio of application services. In addition, F5
produced the recently announced preview of F5 Cloud Services on
AWS. F5 will be bringing to market additional software and SaaS
application services for developers in the first half of calendar
year 2019.
