Beyond Security – Using Linkerd to Get Metrics
summary
Demonstration shows Linkerd deployed to a Kubernetes cluster and its proxy injected into YugabyteDB statefulsets so the control plane issues certificates and enforces mutual TLS between DB instances, while Prometheus scrapes each Linkerd proxy to export tcp bytes read/write and connection counts. The setup uses the Linkerd CLI, the Linkerd2 proxy (Rust) and the viz dashboard to visualize a live service topology. Proxies inject automatically via namespace annotation, metrics appear and mTLS connections validate successfully.
