Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd is a production-ready distribution of the Linkerd service mesh that provides critical security and reliability features to Kubernetes applications.
Overview
Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd is a production-ready distribution of the popular Linkerd service mesh, from Buoyant, the creators of Linkerd. BEL provides critical security, reliability, and observability features to Kubernetes applications without requiring any code changes, including mutual TLS (encryption in transit, authentication, workload identities), transparent multi-cluster communication and cluster failover, zero-trust traffic authorization policies, Gateway API conformance, and much more.
Linkerd is the only service mesh to provide a low-overhead, ultrafast implementation in Rust. Unlike other service meshes which rely on complex and buggy C++ proxies, Linkerd's unique microproxy approach is truly zero-trust compatible, maximizing your security posture while minimizing your cost of operations.
BEL is a hardened distribution of the open source Linkerd service mesh that includes additional tools, features, security enhancements, and support, all designed for sustained production use in mission-critical applications.
Highlights
- Zero trust security. Linkerd enables true zero trust security in your Kubernetes applications, ensuring all microservices, APIs, and data communications are not just encrypted but authenticated. Protect your applications against internal and external threats with robust security features, including mutual TLS and fine-grained automated policy enforcement.
- Cost optimization: Dramatically reduce cloud spend in multi-AZ Kubernetes clusters with High Availability Zone-aware Routing, a unique feature in Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd that prioritizes in-AZ routing to reduce cross-zone data transfer costs. Unlike Kubernetes's native Topology-Aware Routing, BEL does not sacrifice reliability and is able to gracefully recover from single-zone failures.
- Multi-cluster and DR: Seamlessly manage and secure services across multiple Kubernetes clusters with built-in multicluster support that is fully transparent to the application. Deploy advanced traffic management techniques including powerful disaster recovery tooling to ensure your system is always available.

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
