Migrating from Sidecars to Sidecarless Istio Ambient Mesh

A Modern Approach to Service Mesh:

Migrating from Sidecars to Sidecarless Ambient Mesh

‍

Ambient mode is fundamentally changing how service meshes are implemented and managed by moving from the traditional sidecar model in favor of the more flexible, resource-efficient sidecar-less approach. Migrating to Ambient mesh reduces resource overhead, improves scalability and performance and simplifies operations.

So what’s the right migration strategy for your organization?  

In our white paper Migrating from Sidecars to Sidecarless to Ambient Mesh, we share how sidecars and Ambient mode can work together, allowing for a gradual migration strategy, and: 

• Benefits of Ambient mode, including simplified operations, reduced costs and improved performance 
• Key considerations to developing a migration strategy 
• Strategies to mitigating any potential challenges
