App Mesh is a Multi Tenant, Cloud Native, Micro Service application management platform, used to on-board, schedule, start and monitor applications. Each app can be a specific micro service for service discover or normal app with replication, the app-mesh will guarantee all defined applications running on-time with defined behavior and resources. The platform can run as standalone or cluster mode, provide REST APIs, command-line and web-ui.
App Mesh is similar with Kubernetes but much light weight, support both container app and native app.
