Abstract
Techniques for managing and processing of configuration changes associated with a service container associated with a service mesh are presented. An application management component can determine immutable configuration data (ICD) relating to configuration change processing for the service container based on policies received from an application owner. A message processing component (MMC) of a service proxy associated with the service container can receive, via a control plane, a message associated with an untrusted entity. MMC can determine whether the message comprises a configuration change request relating to interaction between the application and the service mesh, and, if so, can determine whether to allow the service proxy to process the configuration change based on analysis of the configuration change and ICD. If ICD indicates the configuration change is not allowed, service proxy can discard the request. If ICD indicates the configuration change is allowed, service proxy can implement the configuration change.
