I’ll start by saying that I think Linkerd is a great tool. We use it at work to provide TLS between our pods, which frees us from having to build that functionality directly into our containers. When it works, it’s fantastic! It’s simple to get up and running and just does the job without a lot of extra fuss. For the most part, it’s been a very hands-off experience, which is exactly what we need.
