Presentation Spotlight

Mutually authenticated TLS is the de facto standard for secure inter-service communication. Unfortunately, setting up a PKI, dealing with certificate issuance, rotation and revocation is hard, leading to only the most sophisticated companies deploying a fully MTLS infrastructure.

In this talk, I'll go over the advantages and disadvantages of using MTLS in a microservice architecture, describe how Docker's swarm currently tackles this issue, and give a live demo of how easy it is, and should be, to setup a fully-featured PKI infrastructure for your services.
