Envoy Proxy: The Swiss Army Knife

This technical article details the role of Envoy Proxy in implementing Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) for cloud-native systems, particularly in Kubernetes. It covers how Envoy provides centralized security via mutual TLS (mTLS) for all service-to-service communication, request authentication, authorization (RBAC), and traffic encryption, acting as a programmable checkpoint to enforce security policies consistently across microservices.
