KubeSphere Service Mesh provides a simpler distribution of Istio with consolidated UX.
If you’re running and scaling microservices on Kubernetes, it’s time to adopt the istio-based service mesh for your distributed system. We design a unified UI to integrate and manage tools including Istio, Envoy and Jaeger.

What Makes KubeSphere Service Mesh Special
Traffic Management
- Canary release provides canary rollouts and staged rollouts with percentage-based traffic splits
- Blue-green deployment allows the new version of the application to be deployed in the green environment and tested for functionality and performance
- Traffic mirroring enables teams to bring changes to production with as few risks as possible
- Circuit breakers allow users to set limits for calls to individual hosts within a service
Visualization
Observability is extremely useful in understanding cloud-native microservice interconnections. KubeSphere has the ability to visualize the connections between microservices and the topology of how they interconnect.
Distributed Tracing
Based on Jaeger, KubeSphere enables users to track how each service interacts with other services. It brings a deeper understanding about request latency, bottlenecks, serialization and parallelism via visualization.
