SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Implement mutual TLS in a zero-trust environment to secure service-to-service communication and simplify certificate management across meshes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports Istio, SPIRE, and other service mesh configurations to enforce mTLS.
  • Provides templates for mTLS policies, certificate rotation, and multi-cluster security.
  • Use Case: Securely connect microservices across clusters with automated certificate provisioning and rotation.

Quick Start

Configure your cluster by applying the Istio and SPIRE templates to enable mTLS across services.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure mutual TLS for zero-trust service communication?

To configure mutual TLS for zero-trust service communication, apply configuration templates to your service mesh like Istio or Linkerd. This establishes encrypted, authenticated connections between microservices using proper CA hierarchies.

How do I enable mTLS across multi-cluster environments using Istio?

To enable mTLS across multi-cluster environments using Istio, apply the provided configuration templates and policies. This secures service-to-service communication across clusters with automated certificate provisioning and proper CA hierarchies.

How does SPIRE integrate with service meshes for certificate management?

SPIRE integrates with service meshes by automating certificate provisioning and rotation for mTLS. It establishes zero-trust configurations by managing workload identities and proper CA hierarchies across multi-cluster environments.

What is the best way to automate certificate rotation in a zero-trust mesh?

The best way to automate certificate rotation in a zero-trust mesh is using provided templates for service meshes like Istio and SPIRE. These templates enforce mTLS policies and manage certificate lifecycles across clusters.

Can I use these mTLS templates with Linkerd for securing microservices?

Yes, you can use these mTLS templates with Linkerd for securing microservices. The templates support Linkerd alongside Istio and SPIRE to enforce zero-trust communication and simplify certificate management across meshes.

Why is mTLS not working for my service mesh across multiple clusters?

If mTLS is not working across multiple clusters, verify your CA hierarchies and certificate rotation policies. The provided debugging steps help identify misconfigurations in Istio, SPIRE, or Linkerd multi-cluster environments.
