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
