We announced the release of Kuma – a modern, universal control plane for service mesh back in September 2019. Since then, a roaring wave of community feedback and contribution has flooded the project. And that’s a good thing, so thank you to everyone who has given their time to helping Kuma grow. One recurring feedback we got was that the community was excited to see a platform-agnostic service mesh.

In this new environment, one challenge is managing the different cloud solutions.
