Which Istio feature enables encrypted communication between services without requiring changes to application code?
ASidecar proxy resource limits
BIstio Gateway configuration
CVirtualService traffic routing
DMutual TLS (mTLS) authentication
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify encryption mechanism

    Istio's mutual TLS (mTLS) transparently encrypts service-to-service traffic.
  2. Step 2: Exclude unrelated features

    Gateways manage ingress/egress, VirtualServices route traffic, and resource limits do not affect encryption.
  3. Final Answer:

    Mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    mTLS secures traffic without app code changes [OK]
Quick Trick: mTLS encrypts traffic transparently [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing routing with security features
  • Thinking gateways handle encryption
