What is Google Cloud Traffic Director?

Simplified traffic oversight for your service mesh. A service mesh represents a powerful architecture that has become increasingly popular for managing microservices and modern applications. In this architecture, the data plane, which includes service proxies like Envoy, manages traffic flow, while the control plane governs policies, configurations, and the intelligence behind these proxies. Google Cloud Platform's Traffic Director serves as a fully managed system for traffic oversight within the service mesh. By leveraging Traffic Director, you can efficiently deploy global load balancing across multiple clusters and virtual machine instances situated in various regions, reduce the burden of health checks on service proxies, and establish sophisticated traffic control policies. Importantly, Traffic Director utilizes open xDSv2 APIs to communicate with the service proxies in the data plane, giving users the advantage of not being restricted to a single proprietary interface. This adaptability fosters smoother integration and enhances flexibility in different operational contexts, making it a versatile choice for developers.

What is Control Plane?

Control Plane keeps production apps and AI agents running when a zone, region, or cloud provider fails. It combines AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, neoclouds, existing Kubernetes clusters, and bare metal into one Global Virtual Cloud. You pick the locations, every workload runs active-active across all of them, and a built-in global endpoint routes each request to the nearest healthy location. Teams run serverless, standard, stateful, cron, and virtual machine workloads from the container images they already have. Universal Cloud Identity gives workloads short-lived, least-privilege access to 600+ cloud services without long-lived keys. Day-two operations come built in, including autoscaling, Capacity AI right-sizing, logs, metrics, and traces, mutual TLS, secrets management, and a tamper-proof audit trail. The 99.999% availability SLA applies to workloads running at least two replicas in at least two locations, and customers typically cut compute costs 30 to 50 percent versus running directly on a hyperscaler.
