Understanding the Meshery Ecosystem
Layer5 Cloud is an identity provider and global console for Meshery deployments with an extensible and highly flexible authorization framework, tenant entitlement services, service provider-grade organizational hierarchy, team workspace management and a content catalog for public and private hosting of cloud native architectures. Layer5 Cloud is available as a service or self-hosted.
Meshery is a cloud native manager that enables the design and management of Kubernetes-based infrastructure and applications. It is an extensible developer platform that seamlessly integrates with all CNCF projects, and various monitoring, CI/CD, and security tools.
Kanvas delivers a collaborative experience similar to how Google Workplace transforms the digital work environment and how Figma democratizes UX design tooling. Kanvas simplifies the complexity of Kubernetes and multi-cloud infrastructure management accessible to all. Kanvas provides a visual, multi-player experience that allows you to create, configure, deploy, and manage modern infrastructure with confidence.
