KCNA · Question #173
What are the two major components of service mesh?
The correct answer is A. Control plane and Data plane. The two primary components of a service mesh architecture are the data plane, which handles traffic, and the control plane, which manages and configures the data plane.

Why each option
The two primary components of a service mesh architecture are the data plane, which handles traffic, and the control plane, which manages and configures the data plane.
The two major components of a service mesh are the data plane and the control plane. The data plane consists of a network of intelligent proxies (sidecars) that intercept and manage network traffic, while the control plane manages and configures these proxies, providing policies and insights.
"Master plane" is not a standard architectural term for service mesh components.
This option is incorrect as option A correctly identifies the two major components.
"Controller plane" is synonymous with "control plane," but "User plane" is not a standard service mesh component.
Neither "Master plane" nor "User plane" are standard architectural terms for service mesh components.
