Lightning Talk: Securing Your Systems with Service Mesh
summary
Five-minute introduction that claims service mesh makes mTLS everywhere practical by injecting sidecar proxies via a control plane that handles certificate issuance and rotation. Demonstrates that apps remain unchanged because proxies terminate TLS, and security policies (JWT validation, fine‑grained authorization) are managed centrally and scoped by workload, namespace, or global. Notes a concrete contrast: a year-long manual migration of ~30 microservices to mTLS becomes automated and uniform with the mesh.
