Security and Mutual TLS
Implement service-to-service encryption with mutual TLS, configure PeerAuthentication policies, AuthorizationPolicies, and zero-trust networking patterns in Istio.
Lab Overview
🛠Lab from the Platform Engineering Bootcamp. Used in Week 19. Bootcamp landing page: https://academy.tekanaid.com/bootcamps/platform-engineering-bootcamp Parent course(s):
- Week 19: Service Mesh with Istio (slug: service-mesh-istio)
🟡 Beta bootcamp lab. Hands-on instructions, check scripts, and solve scripts are in place. Lab is part of the running TaskFlow project that grows across all 21 weeks of the bootcamp.
Implement service-to-service encryption with mutual TLS, configure PeerAuthentication policies, implement AuthorizationPolicies, and manage certificate lifecycle.
What You'll Learn
Enable strict mutual TLS across a namespace using a PeerAuthentication policy and verify encrypted traffic
Create AuthorizationPolicy resources to allow or deny traffic between specific services based on identity
Inspect Istio-managed certificates and understand the certificate rotation lifecycle
Apply zero-trust networking patterns by defaulting to deny-all and explicitly allowing required service communication
