    Useful in scenarios where we use a complex microservices-based implementation with the complexity of inter-service communication. Can use App Mesh with services running on any compute services such as Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and Amazon EC2. Can be used to isolate errors and pinpoint the error location and also to re-route.

    It is only a necessity if teams are planning to migrate between clouds and need a transitional setup. A single cloud/all on-prem setup won't need the IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh.
