Application Network Planes
From http://networkstatic.net/the-control-plane-data-plane-and-forwarding-plane-in-networks/
Concept of “planes” (layers in the network)
popularized in SDN:
Data Plane - Business information ﬂow
Control Plane - Network metadata
In the Application Network, the Data Plane
consists of the API interactions that execute
business capabilities (e.g. place order,
check account balance)
The Control Plane consists of interactions
that execute technological capabilities
(e.g. monitoring, security, SLA management)

APIs & Microservices Key Takeaways
● APIs and microservices exist in a vast, complex, converging landscape
● The “application network” concept helps ﬁlter noise and abstract the
complexity
● The application network’s “control plane” consists of a set of technological
capabilities
● These capabilities help to further understand the API and microservices
landscape
● A service mesh is a packaged implementation of some of these capabilities,
deployed in a container-based infrastructure

• Empower your customer teams to build according to their strengths
• Accelerate microservice adoption with auto-discovery and re-use
• Maintain ﬂexibility: it bends, not breaks – built for change

API Management for Non-Mule Services
• Expose microservices as APIs in Anypoint
– Support for auto-creation from Kubernetes command line
OR
– For design-first approach- Publish APIs via API or UI and then use
auto-discovery ID for binding
• Apply mule policies from API Manager
• Istio policies (Request routing, circuit breaker, A/B..) are available
though its own control plane
• Services health can be monitored using API Analytics
• Non-mule assets can be discovered & reused from Exchange

Anypoint Service Mesh Key Takeaways
● A Service Mesh helps make service-to-service communications secure, fast
and reliable
● Service Mesh is essential to companies adopting a microservices architecture
at scale
● Service Mesh and API Management are complementary, and can be used
together to govern and manage all services at scale
● Anypoint Service Mesh extends the beneﬁts of the application network, and
gives you one single uniﬁed platform to discover, manage and secure any
service
