What solution can be used for Service Mesh on Windows cluster?

Question

Question in title. Requirement: L7 observability features.

Answer 1

HI DenSF,

Are you looking for measuring and monitoring the traffic which flows across each containers in the cluster?

i hope you are referring to the service fabric mesh. Let me know if you are referring to other clusters.

Yes.

I want to do standalone Service Fabric Mesh on windows (standalone Service Fabric Cluster on Windows+ e.g. "Envoy", or other ). How is it implemented for Azure Service Fabric Mesh (Windows containers)?

Answer 3

You cannot truly run service fabric mesh on premise. The whole point of SF Mesh is that it appears as a server less and Azure takes care of all the nodes on the backened. In the same sense that if you run Web Apps in Azure you don't deal with the physical nodes and setting up the OS but you just deploy you app. 

So if you want to run on Premise you would just go with a Standard Service Fabric Setup in which case you can run Windows Containers

I also suggest you read up more on Mesh to get a better understanding of how it works

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric-mesh/service-fabric-mesh-overview

In addition, Mesh is in Preview so you cannot run Production clusters in Azure

Book "Programming Microsoft Azure Service Fabric" from Haishi Bai - Chapter 14- "For example, in Service Fabric, the Service Fabric runtime provides connectivity to the mesh. (Later in this chapter, you’ll learn how Service Fabric offers service meshes through explicit envoys.)"

Answer 5

Not sure how this relates to the question. Can you elaborate further? 

Answer 6

I do not consider Azure Ser­vice Fab­ric Mesh (IaaS)!

Ser­vice Fab­ric (PaaS) + Envoy (https://www.envoyproxy.io) = Service Mesh (Book "Programming Microsoft Azure Service Fabric"). Image above. But, Envoy is Linux soft. My Service Fabric Cluster on Windows, what can i use instead Envoy (https://www.envoyproxy.io), for Windows platform?

Answer 7

I still don't get the end goal here..... 

What exactly are you trying to setup on prem? A Service Fabric Mesh Cluster? 

What is the issue you are hitting? Please be specific

If you can give me a clear statement of what you want to achieve I can provide some guidance. Such as "I am looking to setup a Service Fabric Cluster on prem using Windows 10 Nodes, The issue I am having is...."

Any update on this?
