AWS App Mesh Virtual Node Icon

AWS App Mesh virtual nodes represent individual microservices or applications within your service mesh. They act as entry points for traffic, defining how your application receives and routes requests. You configure a virtual node with details like the service's location (e.g., Kubernetes pods, EC2 instances), its communication protocols, and the policies controlling traffic flow. Essentially, it allows App Mesh to understand and manage individual components of your distributed application, ensuring reliable communication between them.
