Greymatter.io announces full and native EC2 support for the Greymatter Service Mesh, engineered for mission-critical environments with military-grade FIPS 140-3 and NIST compliance. Organizations can now extend Greymatter’s advanced mesh capabilities to EC2 instances, securing hybrid and cloud architectures with new levels of flexibility and scale.
Key Highlights
With this release, Greymatter extends secure service mesh capabilities beyond Kubernetes to AWS EC2. That shift allows enterprises to bring the same hardened, zero trust protections into workloads that sit outside container orchestration—without sacrificing compliance or control.
- Greymatter Service Mesh now natively supports EC2 deployments and empowers organizations to run secure service mesh workloads outside Kubernetes, directly on AWS EC2 infrastructure.
- Greymatter protects EC2 workloads with FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, automatic mTLS/TLS certificate management, and full NIST Zero Trust compliance, meeting strict requirements for defense, public sector, and regulated industries.
- The integration delivers non-human identity (NHI) attestation and distributed user identity tokens to EC2 workloads, enforcing zero trust security.
- Greymatter simplifies setup with straightforward configuration, secrets management, and auditability.
- Organizations can now discover, connect, and orchestrate services natively on EC2s and Kubernetes—using Greymatter alone, across any cloud, region, or K8s vendor.
Mesh Connections for EC2 and K8s Workloads
Extending Greymatter into EC2 unlocks a unified service mesh across both containerized and VM-based workloads. This means teams no longer need separate solutions for Kubernetes and EC2—they can manage connectivity, security, and observability through a single platform.
- Greymatter unifies and controls service connectivity across regions, clouds, and environments with EC2-native mesh, real-time observability, and policy enforcement.
- The platform automates discovery, failover, and GitOps-driven policy management to scale, recover, and comply seamlessly across EC2 and K8s workloads.
- It provides deep visibility by grouping workloads by environment and segment for tailored routing and security.
NHI Certificate Management
As enterprises expand service mesh to EC2, certificate automation becomes even more critical. Greymatter addresses this by extending its proven zero trust NHI certificate management, ensuring every workload maintains identity integrity at scale.
- Greymatter automates zero trust NHI certificate management for all workloads—including EC2-native services.
- The system issues, rotates, and validates certificates for every proxy and service to maintain strong workload identity, mTLS enforcement, and policy-driven auditability.
- This approach aligns with strict zero trust standards while balancing compliance, automation, and operational simplicity.
DevSecOps Integration for EC2 and Hybrid Mesh
Zero trust cannot live only at runtime—it must be baked into the pipeline. By embedding Greymatter’s controls into DevSecOps workflows, organizations keep compliance continuous and delivery frictionless.
- Greymatter embeds NIST-aligned zero trust security and compliance checks in every pipeline without requiring app or infrastructure changes.
- It accelerates delivery by automating security, identity, and network policy enforcement—removing friction between speed and safety.
- Real-time observability and audit deliver full visibility across mesh environments to detect and remediate issues before they escalate.
What This Means
Greymatter now enables organizations to choose the right compute environment—Kubernetes, EC2, or hybrid—without compromise. Whether the requirement is compliance, visibility, or agility, Greymatter delivers the flexibility and resilience modern enterprises and government agencies demand.
