App Mesh tooling

Important

End of support notice: On September 30, 2026, Amazon will discontinue support for Amazon App Mesh. After September 30, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon App Mesh console or Amazon App Mesh resources. For more information, visit this blog post Migrating from Amazon App Mesh to Amazon ECS Service Connect.

App Mesh gives customers the ability to interact with its APIs indirectly using tools such as:

  • Amazon CloudFormation

  • Amazon Cloud Development Kit (Amazon CDK)

  • App Mesh Controller for Kubernetes

  • Terraform

App Mesh and Amazon CloudFormation

Amazon CloudFormation is a service that lets you create a template with all the resources you need for your application, and then Amazon CloudFormation will configure and provision the resouces for you. It will also configure all the dependencies, so you can focus more on you application and less on managing resources.

For more information and examples on using Amazon CloudFormation with App Mesh, see the Amazon CloudFormation documentation.

App Mesh and Amazon CDK

Amazon CDK is a development framework for using code to define your cloud infrastructure and using Amazon CloudFormation to provision it. Amazon CDK supports multiple programming languages including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, and C#/.Net.

For more information on using Amazon CDK with App Mesh, see the Amazon CDK documentation.

App Mesh controller for Kubernetes

The App Mesh controller for Kubernetes helps you to manage your App Mesh resources for a Kubernetes cluster and inject sidecars into pods. This controller is specifically for use with Amazon EKS and allows you to manage your resources in a manner that is native to Kubernetes.

For more information on the App Mesh controller, see the App Mesh Controller documentation.

App Mesh and Terraform

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool. Terraform can manage cloud services using thier CLI and interacts with APIs using declaritive configuration files.
