01

Require Strict mTLS Across a Namespace

The canonical PeerAuthentication: require mutual TLS for every workload in a namespace. With no selector, the policy is the namespace default, so all in-mesh traffic to those workloads must arrive...

02

Strict mTLS for One Workload, with a Plaintext Port

Require mTLS for a single selected workload, while exempting one port that must stay plaintext -- for example a health-check, metrics-scrape, or legacy port that a non-mesh client probes directly.
