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 to shift a fraction of traffic to a new service version with Traefik Mesh’s TrafficSplit resource, verify the split with Prometheus metrics, and understand the operational constraints.
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 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
