Deploying Services
Deploying Services to clusters with Cloud Service Mesh is almost the
same as deploying Services to clusters without Cloud Service Mesh. You do need to
make some changes to your Kubernetes manifests:
Name your Service ports. Although GKE allows you to
define unnamed Service ports, Cloud Service Mesh requires that you provide aname for a portthat matches the port's
protocol.
Label your Deployments. This allows you to use Cloud Service Mesh traffic
management features such as splitting traffic between versions of the same
service.
The following example Deployment and Service illustrate these requirements:
