Is it safe to enable mTLS in an existing production cluster?

The skill provides templates for 'PERMISSIVE' mode, allowing you to migrate services gradually before enforcing 'STRICT' mode to avoid service disruption.

Can this skill help with automatic certificate rotation?

Yes, it provides patterns for automating rotation with cert-manager and includes verification commands to check certificate expiry and status.

What service meshes does this skill support?

It includes specialized templates and debugging guides for popular service meshes like Istio and Linkerd, as well as identity frameworks like SPIFFE/SPIRE.

How do I troubleshoot mTLS connection errors?

The skill includes specific CLI commands for Istio and Linkerd to inspect proxy-config logs, verify peer authentication, and debug TLS handshakes.

Configures and manages mutual TLS (mTLS) for secure, zero-trust service-to-service communication within cloud-native environments.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for implementing and managing mutual TLS (mTLS) to achieve zero-trust networking across distributed systems. It offers standardized templates and best practices for configuring Istio, Linkerd, and SPIRE, alongside automated certificate management using cert-manager. By providing production-ready patterns for certificate rotation, debugging handshake issues, and transitioning from permissive to strict security modes, it helps developers ensure compliant and encrypted internal service communications without manual overhead.
