# Day 43 - Let's go sidecarless in Ambient Mesh
|
|
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1zJ9tmBkrk)
|
|
|
|
# ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY:
|
|
This video discusses Ambient Mesh, an open-source project that simplifies service mesh architecture by using one proxy per node, reducing cost and complexity, and providing improved security with mTLS and identity management.
|
|
|
|
# MAIN POINTS:
|
|
1. Service mesh addresses challenges in microservice architectures, such as cost, complexity, and performance issues.
|
|
2. Ambient Mesh is an open-source project that aims to improve service mesh by using one proxy per node instead of one for each container.
|
|
3. This reduces costs, simplifies operations, and improves performance.
|
|
4. Ambient Mesh provides out-of-the-box security with mTLS and identity management.
|
|
5. The architecture uses separate proxies for L3/L4 (Z) and L7 (VPO) to manage traffic.
|
|
6. The tunneling protocol used in Ambient Mesh is called ONI, which provides L3/L4 capabilities.
|
|
7. Ambient Mesh is under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and continues to be improved daily.
|
|
|
|
# ADDITIONAL NOTES:
|
|
- In Ambient Mesh, each node has an identity that is impersonated and creates a secure tunnel for communication between nodes.
|
|
- The tunneling protocol used in Ambient Mesh is called ONI (Overlay Network Interface).

|
## ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY:
|
|
The presentation discusses the concept of a service mesh, specifically Ambient Mesh, and its architecture, highlighting its benefits, such as reduced cost, simplified operations, and improved performance.
|
|
|
|
## MAIN POINTS:
|
|
|
|
1. Service meshes provide secure communication between services.
|
|
2. Microservices have distributed applications with challenges in observing, securing, and communicating among services.
|
|
3. Ambient Mesh is an open-source project that simplifies service mesh architecture by having one proxy per node rather than per container.
|
|
4. It provides reduced cost, simplified operations, and improved performance compared to the sidecar pattern.
|
|
5. Ambient Mesh uses mutual TLS (mTLS) for secure communication between services.
|
|
6. The L7 proxy manages layer 7 features, while the L3/L4 proxy handles layer 3 and 4 traffic.
|
|
7. Zel is responsible for securely connecting and authenticating workloads with CN (Certificate Network).
|
|
8. The protocol used to connect nodes is called Hone, which provides a secure overlay network.
|
|
|
|
## PURPOSE:
|
|
|
|
The presentation aims to educate the audience on the benefits and architecture of Ambient Mesh, highlighting its unique features and advantages over traditional service mesh architectures.
