Microservices - Service Mesh

ASidecar proxies replace the control plane of the service mesh.

BSidecar proxies act as data plane components in a service mesh, handling routing, security, and telemetry.

CSidecar proxies eliminate the need for service discovery in a service mesh.

DSidecar proxies store service configurations centrally in the service mesh.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand sidecar role in service mesh
Sidecar proxies are deployed alongside microservices as data plane agents to manage routing, security, and telemetry.
Step 2: Clarify misconceptions
They do not replace control plane, eliminate service discovery, or store configurations centrally.
Final Answer:
Sidecar proxies act as data plane components in a service mesh, handling routing, security, and telemetry. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Sidecar = data plane in service mesh [OK]

Quick Trick: Sidecar is data plane, not control plane [OK]
