v0.1.0

Kmesh is a high-performance traffic management engine, based on eBPF+programmable kernel technology, sinking traffic management into the OS. The forwarding path within the service mesh changes from multi-hop to single-hop, greatly improving forwarding performance, suitable for delay-sensitive application scenarios.

Quick View of Kmesh:

Features:

  • One-click Deployment

    The community has released Kmesh deployment images, and supports one-click deployment of Kmesh through YAML here.

  • Namespace Enabling

    Supports enabling Kmesh's traffic takeover scope through namespaces.

  • Collaborative Work with Sidecar Data Plane

    Supports collaborative work with sidecar data plane. After enabling Kmesh, the traffic of newly created Pods within the namespace will be automatically taken over by Kmesh without passing through a sidecar proxy. If the sockmap feature is enabled during Kmesh deployment, it can accelerate the original sidecar traffic (reducing latency by about 15%).

  • Layer 4 Traffic Management

    Support for tcp_proxy management rules based on eBPF, including routing, grayscale, load balancing, etc.

  • Layer 7 Traffic Management

    Thanks to Kmesh's enhancement of the kernel, L7 traffic management can be fully completed within the eBPF prog without passing through any proxy software. Currently supports some models of http_connection_manager xds, including routing, grayscale, and load balancing under the http1.1 protocol.

  • Service Mesh Control Plane Connection

    Supports XDS protocol and can easily connect with service mesh control planes such as Istiod.

Docker Images:

Kmesh achieves the ability to completely sink traffic management below the OS through kernel enhancements. When releasing images, the range of OS for which the image is applicable must be considered. To this end, we consider releasing two types of images:

  • Supported OS versions with kernel enhancement modifications

    The current openEuler 23.03 OS natively supports the kernel enhancement features required by Kmesh. Kmesh release images can be directly installed and run on this OS. For a detailed list of supported OS versions with kernel enhancement modifications, please refer to this link.

  • Unsupported OS versions with kernel enhancement modifications

    To be compatible with different OS versions, Kmesh provides online compilation and running images. After Kmesh is deployed, it will automatically select Kmesh features supported by the host machine's kernel capabilities, to meet the demand for one image to run in different OS environments.

# The Kmesh x86 image is used for openEuler 23.03 OS.
docker pull ghcr.io/kmesh-net/kmesh:v0.1.0

# The x86 image for Kmesh online compilation and execution, supports OS kernel versions 5.10 and above.
docker pull ghcr.io/kmesh-net/kmesh-x86:v0.1.0

# The arm image for Kmesh online compilation and execution, supports OS kernel versions 5.10 and above.
docker pull ghcr.io/kmesh-net/kmesh-arm:v0.1.0
