" summary

Introduces service mesh architecture using a control plane and Envoy sidecar proxies, with per-proxy certificates to enable mutual TLS between services. Describes concrete capabilities—canary and blue/green routing, circuit breakers, distributed tracing, and automated certificate rotation—and gives practical DevOps advice: start by instrumenting a single namespace, measure proxy CPU/RAM overhead, test in staging, and consider Linkerd for simplicity or Istio for comprehensive traffic management.
