mTLS Configuration FAQs

Question 1

How does it improve my cloud-native security workflow?

Accepted Answer

It eliminates the manual complexity of writing PeerAuthentication and DestinationRule manifests. By using Claude Code with this skill, you can quickly generate verified security policies, monitor certificate expiry, and perform complex debugging of encrypted traffic with standardized commands.

Question 2

Can this skill help with certificate rotation and expiry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It provides specific patterns for automated certificate management using cert-manager, including step-by-step rotation procedures and expiry monitoring commands to prevent service outages caused by expired credentials.

Question 3

When should I use this Claude Code Skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill when you need to secure internal microservices, meet strict compliance requirements (like PCI-DSS or HIPAA), implement zero-trust architecture, or automate the rotation of workload certificates in cloud-native environments.

Question 4

What does the mTLS Configuration skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill empowers Claude Code to implement and manage mutual TLS (mTLS) for secure, zero-trust service-to-service communication. It provides pre-built templates for Istio and Linkerd, automates certificate management via cert-manager, and offers advanced debugging workflows for TLS handshake issues.

Question 5

Which service mesh technologies are supported?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes comprehensive templates and procedures for Istio (Strict/Permissive modes), Linkerd (automatic mTLS), and SPIFFE/SPIRE integration for identity-based security in heterogeneous environments.
