Doesn't seem like it is designed to work outside of k8s anymore?

Anyone know of a service mesh that is intended to run in a more standalone fashion? (itsio also integrates very strongly to k8s)

Marco, CTO of Kong here. This is exactly what Kong has been doing for a while and with the newly announced Kong 1.0 release [1] (2 days ago) we also support Service Mesh with a lightweight runtime that has been running in production since 3.5 years across multiple platforms, hybrid container orchestration platforms and even hybrid baremetal/cloud deployments.

GA for Kong 1.0 will include Service Mesh (we have RC1 now, and RC2 coming soon).

Thanks, I’ll certainly take a look!

Just a question of starting point. Linkerd 1.x has been running for years on multiple platforms, and we'll get there with the 2.x line as well.

Ah. The docs read like k8s was the only concern.

I’ll keep an eye on it for possible future day where it supports bare OS.

You can start with Linkerd 1.x today. Supports pretty much every platform. :)
