Explore the concept of Zero-Trust Tunnels and their role in enhancing security and simplifying operations with Istio Ambient Mesh in this 37-minute conference talk. Delve into the revolutionary data-plane architecture introduced by Google and Solo.io in September 2022, which allows service mesh users to eliminate sidecars. Learn how Ambient Mesh improves security posture, reduces operational complexity, and enables incremental mesh adoption while lowering costs and computational overhead. Discover the two new complementary layers: the zero-trust tunnel (ztunnel) for securing Layer 4 connectivity and the waypoint proxy for implementing Layer 7 security policies and behaviors. Witness a practical demonstration showcasing how these components work together to address security compliance challenges in heavily regulated industries and the public sector.
