Service mesh by definition is supposed to help reduce the complexity associated with Kubernetes. Linkerd, often championed by smaller organizations as the service mesh that is simpler to deploy and manage than other open source alternatives, could become even easier to use with what Buoyant is touting as “fully managed” Linkerd to Buoyant Cloud. The idea, Linkerd creator https://www.linkedin.com/in/wmorgan/, CEO of Buoyant, told The New Stack is that Buoyant Cloud will now be able to automate Linkerd upgrades, installations, rollbacks, data-plane version syncs, etc.

“The service mesh is widely recognized as a critical component of any successful Kubernetes platform, but the space remains notorious for its complexity.

Buoyant Cloud also allows for simpler control for monitoring Linkerd deployments, ranging from control plane to data plane, but things can still go wrong, Morgan said.
