      Describe the issue:
      One of the examples where Service Mesh uses a different resource compared to upstream Istio is the 'ServiceMeshPolicy' resource as in
      https://maistra.io/docs/examples/mesh-wide_mtls/
      .

      Upstream Istio documentation elaborates the use of 'MeshPolicy' resource as in
      https://archive.istio.io/v1.1/docs/concepts/security/#policy-storage-scope
      however, Openshift Service Mesh has replaced that resource with 'ServiceMeshResource' due to multitenancy implementation.

      Refer
      https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4848531
      .

      Suggestions for improvement:
      Include the comparison information from upstream Maistra documentation as well as in
      https://maistra.io/docs/comparison-with-istio/
      .

      From usage perspective, the official Openshift Documentation still misses out on which are the resources relevant in Service Mesh and replaces upstream Istio resources. Having this documentation will greatly help.
