Ramaswamy Chandramouli, Zack Butcher and James Callaghan examine the proxy models used by service meshes in cloud-native systems. The publication connects architectural choices with the security properties needed to manage communication among application services, focusing on how traffic reaches and passes through the mesh.
The discussion compares the placement and operation of proxies and the responsibilities of application and infrastructure components. It examines threats associated with deployment, configuration and traffic interception, including circumstances in which the service-mesh data plane can be bypassed.
By relating architectural differences to threat scenarios, the report gives readers a way to reason about the security implications of a service-mesh design. Diagrams and structured explanations support the comparison without reducing it to a single recommended product. This complete NIST publication is intended for technically informed readers working with distributed applications, platform engineering and the security of cloud-native infrastructure.
