In this session, we cover the basics of locking down in-cluster network traffic using the new traffic policies introduced in Linkerd 2.11. Using Linkerd’s ability to authorize traffic based on workload identity, we cover a variety of practical use cases, including restricting access to a critical service, preventing traffic across namespaces, and locking down traffic while still allowing metrics scrapes, health checks, and other meta-traffic.
