EG-MESH-003 Governed Service Mesh Runtime Requirements

11/11 Federation Governance Standards Initiative

Version: Draft v0.1

Classification: Governed Service Mesh Specification

Specification Family: Federation Governance Standards

Abstract

EG-MESH-003 defines governed service mesh runtime requirements for regulated AI and orchestration infrastructure environments.

The specification establishes mandatory service mesh governance controls including deterministic mesh synchronization, fail-closed runtime enforcement, cryptographic service verification, immutable runtime continuity, distributed telemetry propagation, and mesh coordination consistency across sovereign infrastructure systems.

The framework positions governed service meshes as deterministic runtime coordination layers rather than passive networking infrastructures.

1. Governed Service Mesh Principle

Governed runtime systems MUST maintain deterministic service mesh continuity across all runtime environments.

Governed runtime environments SHALL enforce:

• mesh synchronization continuity• runtime governance coordination• cryptographic service verification• immutable runtime continuity• distributed telemetry synchronization• fail-closed runtime protections

Any unverifiable mesh condition SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

2. Service Mesh Coordination Requirements

Governed runtime environments SHALL maintain service mesh coordination systems responsible for:

• mesh synchronization propagation• runtime telemetry continuity• governance routing coordination• distributed operational consistency• immutable audit continuity• cross-domain synchronization integrity

Mesh coordination SHALL remain synchronized across all runtime systems.

3. Deterministic Mesh Validation

Execution governance systems SHALL validate:

1. Service Mesh Runtime Continuity

2. Governance Policy Synchronization

3. Runtime Integrity Verification

4. Service Scope Continuity

5. Cryptographic Verification Validation

6. Immutable Audit Synchronization

7. Distributed Runtime Consistency

8. Execution Lineage Continuity

Validation failures SHALL trigger fail-closed protections.

4. Fail-Closed Service Mesh Enforcement

Governed runtime environments MUST operate under deterministic fail-closed protections.

Failure conditions SHALL trigger containment including:

• mesh synchronization interruption• runtime governance mismatch• cryptographic verification failure• immutable audit discontinuity• distributed coordination inconsistency• unauthorized mesh modification• runtime state divergence• unverifiable mesh transitions

Execution MUST default to containment during mesh uncertainty.

5. Cryptographic Service Verification

Governed execution systems SHALL implement cryptographic service verification supporting:

• signed service mesh records• runtime integrity verification• immutable proof continuity• distributed trust synchronization• governance evidence propagation• audit authenticity validation

Cryptographic verification SHALL remain continuous during runtime propagation.

6. Immutable Runtime Continuity

Execution governance environments SHALL maintain immutable runtime continuity supporting:

• tamper-evident mesh records• immutable synchronization continuity• distributed runtime replication• telemetry continuity synchronization• audit persistence continuity• governance evidence traceability

Runtime continuity SHALL remain immutable and verifiable across distributed runtime systems.

7. Distributed Runtime Synchronization

Distributed runtime governance systems SHALL synchronize:

• mesh continuity propagation• runtime telemetry synchronization• distributed operational consistency• cryptographic synchronization continuity• immutable audit persistence• runtime governance integrity

Desynchronization SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

8. Service Mesh Governance Traceability

Governed execution environments SHALL maintain deterministic traceability including:

• mesh lifecycle records• governance synchronization telemetry• orchestration routing references• cryptographic proof references• immutable audit records• distributed coordination metadata• operational continuity records

Traceability SHALL remain continuously available for verification and audit inspection.

9. Governed Service Mesh Lifecycle Flow

1. Mesh Initialization

2. Mesh Validation

3. Governance Coordination Inspection

4. Runtime Integrity Verification

5. Cryptographic Verification Validation

6. Telemetry Synchronization Validation

7. Fail-Closed Enforcement Evaluation

8. Runtime Mesh Approval

9. Immutable Synchronization Persistence

10. Audit Continuity Verification

10. Deployment Contexts
