Amazon AWS
Useful in scenarios where we use a complex microservices-based implementation with the complexity of inter-service communication. Can use App Mesh with services running on any compute services such as Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and Amazon EC2. Can be used to isolate errors and pinpoint the error location and also to re-route.

It is only a necessity if teams are planning to migrate between clouds and need a transitional setup. A single cloud/all on-prem setup won't need the IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh.

IBM
  • Yet to implement network latency management, to help avoid overcrowding of requests at a single point
  • It doesn't exactly 'integrate' with the separate cloud systems, which often leads to knowledge gaps
  • Proactive monitoring is something that requires further focus

Istio is high on operational costs as compared to AppMesh. HIgher learning curve for Istio as compared to AppMesh. Multi cluster support in AWS. App Mesh has IAM integration which is a plus for AWS workloads.
