Managing Solace Agent Mesh in Solace Cloud

Solace Agent Mesh is an event-driven, agentic-AI framework that provides security through single sign-on integration, access control through role-based permissions, data management for cost optimization, and observability tools for monitoring agent workflows and system performance. For more information, see Understanding Agent Mesh.

Solace is introducing the capability to create Agent Mesh instances in Solace Cloud. Agent Mesh Manager in Solace Cloud enables you to quickly create Agent Mesh instances and connect them to an event broker service, and to view all of your Agent Mesh instances in one place.

Considerations

If you want to use Agent Mesh Manager to create and manage Agent Mesh instances, you must be aware of the following considerations:

Your organization requires access to Agent Mesh Manager in Solace Cloud.
The event broker service that you connect to an Agent Mesh must reside in a Dedicated Cluster and have an enterprise service class.
For security and user management, Solace recommends using single sign-on (SSO) with your implementation of both Solace Cloud and your Agent Mesh.
Connectivity requirements for Agent Mesh Manager and connecting Agent Mesh to event broker services are similar to other Solace Cloud connectivity requirements. For more information, see Deploying and Managing Solace Agent Mesh from Solace Cloud.
