In this session, Huabing Zhao will introduce Aeraki Mesh, a CNCF sandbox project which allows you to manage any layer-7 traffic in a service mesh. Huabing will talk about the reason why we need a non-HTTP service mesh solution, how Aeraki Mesh solves this by working along with other CNCF projects including Istio and Envoy, and dig into Aeraki Mesh's design, architecture, and components. Additionally, our co-speaker from Boss Zhipin will showcase how Aeraki Mesh can be used to manage Dubbo, a popular RPC protocol widely utilized by Chinese web companies.

Aeraki [Air-rah-ki] is the Greek word for 'breeze'. We hope this breeze can help Kubernetes and Istio sail further in the cloud-native adventure. Aeraki Mesh provides the same layer-7 capabilities for those non-HTTP protocols as Istio does for HTTP.
