Buying a Service Mesh

ASM allows you to create a service mesh of the Basic edition, which is a standard service mesh available for commercial use.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the ASM console and click Buy Mesh.
  2. Configure the following parameters and retain the default values for other parameters.

    • Mesh Edition

      The default value is Basic edition.

    • Mesh Name

      Enter the service mesh name.

    • Istio Version

      Select the Istio version supported by the service mesh.

    • Cluster

      Select the cluster created in Creating a Cluster.

    • Mesh Control Plane Node

      To achieve HA, select two or more nodes from different AZs.

  3. Review the service mesh configuration in Configuration List on the right of the page and click Submit.

    It takes about 1 to 3 minutes to create a service mesh. If the service mesh status changes from Installing to Running, the service mesh is successfully created.
