Meshery is the open-source cloud native manager that brings visibility, lifecycle control, configuration management, performance benchmarking, and policy governance into a single control plane. This course builds the working mental model you need before tackling any advanced topic in the academy.
You will install Meshery using mesheryctl, connect it to a live Kubernetes cluster, and explore the registry of models, components, and relationships that makes Meshery’s design validation possible. The course closes with a hands-on look at Kanvas, Meshery’s visual designer, which you will use throughout the rest of the curriculum.
By the end of this course you should be able to explain what Meshery does, navigate its architecture, import a design, and read a topology in Kanvas.
