Guest post originally published on Linkerd’s blog by William Morgan It’s been a good year for Linkerd. Although much of the software industry has struggled through an economic downturn, Linkerd adoption has only been growing. In…

Failover across clusters is a great way to improve the overall uptime and reliability of Kubernetes applications. While whole-cluster failover can be accomplished at the global ingress layer, failing over individual services is a little more…

In this session we’ll take a look at how to easily apply zero-trust-compatible network policy with Linkerd, the CNCF’s only graduated service mesh. In contrast to the Network Policies built into Kubernetes, which rely on IP…

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…

In this session, we cover the basics of TLS certificate management in Linkerd. While Linkerd issues, rotates, and validates per-pod TLS certificates automatically, the treatment of per-cluster issuer credentials and global trust root credentials can differ…
