What is Linkerd and how does this skill use it?

Linkerd is a lightweight, security-focused service mesh for Kubernetes. This skill provides Claude with the specific patterns and commands needed to install, configure, and manage Linkerd for production environments.

Can I use this for canary deployments?

Absolutely. The skill includes TrafficSplit patterns that allow you to shift traffic between stable and canary versions of your services based on defined weights.

Does this skill help with Kubernetes security?

Yes, it provides templates for automatic mTLS, zero-trust networking, and ServerAuthorization policies to ensure only authorized services can communicate with each other.

How does it handle service reliability?

It implements ServiceProfiles which allow you to define per-route retries, timeouts, and retry budgets to prevent cascading failures in your microservices architecture.
