Background

Service Mesh Interface (SMI) is a Kubernetes-native specification, it's great to implement it to easily integrate with Kubernetes mesh ecosystem. But it seems to be under active discussion and development[1] even it has released v0.6.0.

There seems a gap between the concepts of SMI and Easemesh. Take the TrafficTarget in SMI as an example:

kind: TrafficTarget
metadata:
  name: path-specific
  namespace: default
spec:
  destination:
    kind: ServiceAccount
    name: service-a
    namespace: default
  rules:
  - ...
  sources:
  - kind: ServiceAccount
    name: service-b
    namespace: default

This configuration means traffic from all pods which have ServiceAccount service-b could be sent to all pods which have ServiceAccount service-a.

It defines traffic routes and I think it should be mapped to sidecar egress configuration in Easemesh. However, there are two issues:

  • ServiceAccount is a concept of K8s, and there's not a concept in Easemesh to map a ServiceAccount to.
  • the source & destination of TrafficTarget are PODs, but in Easemesh, they are services (Easemesh service, not K8s service)

There are some features we need to align with SMI. So we will implement these missing features, before that, we will suspend the development of SMI support
