What is mTLS and why should I use this skill?

Mutual TLS (mTLS) ensures that both the client and server verify each other's identity via certificates. This skill automates the complex configuration required for Zero Trust security.

Which service meshes does this skill support?

It provides ready-to-use configuration templates and debugging guides for popular meshes including Istio and Linkerd.

Can I use this skill for regulatory compliance?

Yes, this skill helps implement the strict technical controls required for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and other security standards involving encrypted data-in-transit.

How does this skill handle certificate rotation?

It includes integration templates for cert-manager and SPIRE to automate certificate issuance, renewal, and rotation, minimizing manual overhead and potential downtime.
