Volterra Service Mesh Service Automatically Discovers APIs

Volterra announced today it has updated a service mesh it makes available via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to include the ability to automatically discover all the application programming interfaces (APIs) in an application using machine learning algorithms, then automatically apply all the whitelist policies that apply to those APIs. Service meshes add a programmable layer of abstraction above a proxy server that makes it easier for IT teams to provision networking and security services on demand.

However, outside of a public cloud it can still take days or sometimes weeks to provision networking and security services.

Many DevOps teams will simply opt to rely on external networking services in much the same way they opt to employ virtual machines in the cloud versus waiting for internal IT teams to make resources available in a local data center.
