const mesh = new appmesh.Mesh(infraStack, 'AppMesh', {
  meshName: 'myAwsMesh',
  egressFilter: appmesh.MeshFilterType.ALLOW_ALL,
});

// the VirtualRouter will belong to 'appStack',
// even though the Mesh belongs to 'infraStack'
const router = new appmesh.VirtualRouter(appStack, 'router', {
  mesh, // notice that mesh is a required property when creating a router with the 'new' statement
  listeners: [appmesh.VirtualRouterListener.http(8081)],
});
```
