A service mesh gives you mTLS, L7 routing, telemetry, and policy. The classic way to deliver it is an Envoy in every pod, and that tax is real: memory, latency hops, and lifecycle coupling. Ambient mesh splits the job into a per-node ztunnel and optional waypoints, which changes the cost model and the failure model at once.
