Certificate management is a critical part of securely operating Linkerd. In many environments, that means working with an external certifying authority (CA) – and really, external CAs are a good idea even where they’re not mandated!

TLS certificates are the basis of identity, and thus trust, in everything Linkerd does — but what exactly are they, and what do you need to know to keep everything running smoothly?

"GitOps" and "service mesh" may not be things you immediately think of together – but maybe they should be! These two wildly different technologies are each enormously capable independently, and combined they deliver far more than the sum of their parts.

The first problem that any cloud-native application has to solve is how to communicate with the world outside the cluster. This is “the ingress problem”, and while Linkerd doesn’t have to solve it directly, it is absolutely a major part of successfully getting your app working.

Mutual TLS (mTLS) is a hot topic in the Kubernetes world, especially for anyone tasked with getting “encryption in transit” for their applications. But what is it and how does it compare to alternatives such as encryption at the CNI level?

Linkerd has been able to do workload-based policy for a very long time—for example, it has long been possible to allow workload A to talk to workload B but not workload C. However, it was still up to app developers to write code if workload A should be allowed to ask workload B to check a message but not to sign it.

In this webinar, you'll hear all about the Linkerd 2.12 release and what you need to know to upgrade. This release introduces route-based policy to Linkerd, allowing users to define and enforce authorization policies based on HTTP paths or gRPC methods in a fully zero-trust way.

Failover across clusters is a great way to improve the overall uptime and reliability of Kubernetes applications. While whole-cluster failover can be accomplished at the global ingress layer, failing over individual services is a little more difficult.

Whether for disaster recovery, multi-tenancy, or user-facing latency, deploying applications across multiple clusters is an increasingly common approach to Kubernetes. Unfortunately, while Kubernetes gives you many reasons to run multiple clusters, it provides you with very little help in doing so.

In this workshop, we'll cover the basics of TLS certificate management in Linkerd. While Linkerd issues, rotates, and validates per-pod TLS certificates automatically, the treatment of per-cluster issuer credentials and global trust root credentials can differ based on security goals and organizational policies.

In this workshop, we encrypt app calls end-to-end with Emissary-ingress, Linkerd, Kubernetes, and Envoy — four CNCF projects. Emissary-ingress and Linkerd team members will share best practices to get ingress TLS, in-cluster mTLS, advanced L7 routing, rate limiting, embedded authentication, and more.
