Network Service Mesh (NSM) is a novel approach solving L2/L3 network use cases in Kubernetes that are tricky to address with the existing Kubernetes Network Model. Inspired by Istio, Network Service Mesh maps the concept of a service mesh to L2/L3 payloads.Network Service Mesh enables a variety of types of Use Cases such as:* Connecting Pods to:-VPN Gateways-Non-Kubernetes virtual bridge domains-The *right* physical NIC or SR-IOV VF for their needs-Multiple-interfaces* Cloud-native NFV use casesNetwork Service Mesh controls the L2/L3 data planes to deliver these types of use cases. Network Service Mesh enables users to express the context of their network needs in a Cloud Native manner, rather than manually stringing together disjoint interfaces, IPAM, and subnets.Finally, we discuss how audience members can get involved and help drive the direction and development of NSM.
