What is the Architecting AI Agents and Service Mesh course about?

When intelligent agents operate across fragmented services, the lack of unified control surfaces leads to debugging nightmares, inconsistent state management, and cascading failures. Traditional service mesh setups weren't built for agent-driven workflows, creating gaps in observability, security, and intent alignment. Without a unified pattern, teams waste cycles patching instead of progressing.
