SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Mutual TLS configuration provides secure, zero-trust service-to-service communication by ensuring encrypted channels, mutual authentication, and certificate validation across microservices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Policy-driven mTLS: Enforces mutual TLS across services with per-namespace and per-workload granularity.
  • Certificate lifecycle: Handles provisioning, rotation, and renewal of workload certificates with automated workflows.
  • Debug & audit: Provides templates and steps to verify handshake, troubleshoot TLS issues, and maintain compliance.
  • Use Case: Secure service-to-service communication in a multi-cluster Kubernetes environment using Istio/Linkerd.

Quick Start

Install and configure mutual TLS across your service mesh to enforce zero-trust communications.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure mutual TLS in a Kubernetes service mesh for zero-trust security?▼

Configuring mutual TLS in a Kubernetes service mesh involves applying policy-driven mTLS across services with per-namespace and per-workload granularity to enforce zero-trust communications. This ensures encrypted channels and mutual authentication across microservices.

What is the best way to automate certificate rotation for service mesh workloads?▼

Automating certificate rotation for service mesh workloads requires workflows that handle the provisioning, renewal, and lifecycle management of certificates. This maintains zero-trust security by preventing expired certificates and ensuring continuous validation.

Does this mTLS configuration approach work with both Istio and Linkerd?▼

Yes, this mTLS configuration approach is compatible with both Istio and Linkerd. It supports secure service-to-service communication in multi-cluster Kubernetes environments using either service mesh framework.

How do I troubleshoot and debug mutual TLS handshake failures in my service mesh?▼

Troubleshooting mutual TLS handshake failures involves using provided templates and steps to verify the handshake process and maintain compliance. It includes debugging workflows to pinpoint and resolve TLS issues across the mesh.

Can I enforce zero-trust mTLS policies at the per-namespace and per-workload level?▼

Yes, you can enforce zero-trust mTLS policies at per-namespace and per-workload granularity. This policy-driven approach ensures mutual TLS is applied specifically across targeted services within your Kubernetes deployment.
