Best Practices for Securing Microservices with Service Mesh

Hi everyone,

I am diving into microservices architecture and looking into using a service mesh for better security and management. I’ve read that service meshes like Istio or Linkerd can help with securing communication between services. However, I am a bit unsure about the best practices for implementing these security features effectively.

Could someone share insights on:

  • Key security features I should configure: ??
  • Common pitfalls to avoid when setting up a service mesh: ??
  • Any recommended resources or guides: ??

I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences you have with securing microservices using a service mesh. I already read this: https://www.styra.com/blog/microservices-security-fundamentals-and-best-practices-aws/ but couldn’t get the solution.

Thanks in advance for you help!
