Implements lightweight, security-focused service mesh patterns for Kubernetes using Linkerd.
This skill provides Claude with production-ready patterns for Linkerd, the ultra-lightweight and security-first service mesh for Kubernetes. It enables developers to quickly set up automatic mTLS, configure advanced traffic policies like canary deployments via TrafficSplits, and implement zero-trust networking through ServerAuthorization. By leveraging ServiceProfiles for per-route metrics and retries, it ensures robust observability and reliability for microservices architectures with minimal operational overhead.
