Linkerd introduced an enterprise version of its open-source service mesh aimed at addressing the unique needs of modern enterprise IT teams with zero-trust and FIPS 140-2 compliance, cost-aware load balancing and lifecycle automation. Enterprise organizations have a very low appetite for risk, and they follow strict security and compliance requirements for running software based on internal rules or regulated customers’ needs, Linkerd creator and Bouyant CEO William Morgan told SDxCentral.
