Decide between Traefik Mesh Operator and manual CRD configuration. Learn how to balance mTLS automation against granular control and implement weighted traffic splitting.
Learn how Traefik Mesh uses sidecar proxies and mTLS to eliminate implicit trust in Kubernetes clusters, moving from IP-based security to a Zero Trust identity model.
Traefik Mesh uses gateway proxies and automated mTLS to secure multi-cluster service traffic without per-pod sidecars, with routing controlled via TrafficRoute CRDs.
Traefik Mesh implements a zero-trust architecture by utilizing a central Certificate Authority (CA) to distribute identities to sidecar proxies via Kubernetes secrets. This mechanism ensures that mutual TLS (mTLS) is enforced for all inter-service communication based on SPIFFE-like identity standards. A critical requirement for maintaining mesh security is t
