As microservices-based applications are increasingly adopted within large enterprises and cloud-based environments, there is a need for a dedicated, scalable-supporting infrastructure that will allow for provisioning a comprehensive set of security services. Called Service Mesh, these security services include—but are not limited to—authentication, authorization, secure service discovery, secure communication, and security monitoring. The deployment of Service Mesh components to enable these services involves multiple configurations.
The purpose of Draft SP 800-204A is to provide deployment recommendations for Service Mesh components that span several runtime aspects of microservices-based applications to meet the security requirements for this class of application for various scenarios.
