# Learning Service Mesh From Scratch: from 0 to 100

Service Mesh is the future of application connectivity. It delivers immediate value to any architecture by increasing the security, reliability and observability of our application traffic. At the same time our industry made it challenging to understand and deploy it in production: but it doesn't have to be this way.

Kuma takes a new approach to service mesh in order to build modern architectures across a large variety of platforms, including Kubernetes and VMs. Kuma is a universal control plane that addresses the complexity of service mesh technologies by enabling seamless management of any service on the network.

Well walk you through easily setting up service mesh across multiple environments, and enabling security and observability in any network automatically. We will introduce new concepts and products along the way, and let developers and architects of any skillset become comfortable with service mesh.
