AWS App Mesh is a service mesh for observing, managing and securing communication between services. You can learn more about AWS App Mesh on the [product page](/app-mesh/). HIPAA Eligibility applies to all AWS Regions where AWS App Mesh is available. If you have a HIPAA Business Associate Addendum (BAA) in place with AWS, you can now start using AWS App Mesh for your HIPAA eligible workloads. If you do not have a BAA in place with AWS or have any other questions about running HIPAA-regulated workloads on AWS, [please contact us](/compliance/hipaa-compliance/).
