AWS App Mesh Tutorial (EKS | Ingress | Terraform)

This video demonstrates configuring AWS App Mesh on an EKS cluster to manage microservice traffic, metrics, and canary deployments using a sidecar proxy architecture 0:00.
Key Takeaways:
• The architecture uses Envoy sidecar proxies injected into Kubernetes pods to handle traffic management and monitoring, with AWS providing the managed control plane 1:10.
• Implementation requires creating an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider, IAM roles, and the App Mesh controller via Helm to link AWS and Kubernetes RBAC 10:23.
• Services are defined using VirtualNodes for listeners and VirtualServices for routing, allowing for traffic splitting and canary deployments 20:17.
• External exposure utilizes an App Mesh Gateway deployed with a Network Load Balancer, using VirtualGateways and Routes for external access 27:54.
The tutorial successfully establishes a functional mesh environment and notes that native AWS Load Balancer Controller is recommended for production-grade TLS termination 32:00.

Hello and welcome to my channel. In this video, we'll talk about AWS App Mesh. In the modern architecture, you might have
hundreds of microservices written in different languages. To implement common functionality such as
logging, monitoring, and tracing, you'd need to develop and support different SDKs for
each language. Service Mesh allows you to abstract this functionality
and shift the responsibility away from the service owners. For example, a service mesh can automatically
collect metrics such as latency, traffic, erros and saturation. If you're a DevOps engineer or SRE, you can
use these metrics to monitor the 4 golden signals without needing to implement anything
on the application side. This is one of my favorite features. Additionally, a service mesh enables you to
perform progre…
