QUESTION
I am adding security to my cluster. One of the requirements is that the communication between pods is secure.
The most viable option I found is to implement a "service mesh". I have seen that Calico, Istio, Linkerd are good options. But I don't know which one is the lightest as any of them have a lot of components that I won't really need.
If you have another recommendation, it is welcome.
I read:
- What is pod to pod encryption in kubernetes? And How to implement pod to pod encryption by using mTLS in kubernetes?
- How to configure Kubernetes to encrypt the traffic between nodes, and pods?

ANSWER
Answered 2020-Oct-07 at 17:04Calico is an overlay network and CNI implementation. It won't automatically encrypt the communication between pods on its own, as far as I know.
Linkerd and Istio are service meshes which implement CNI to encrypt traffic with a CNI provider like calico, but a CNI provider is not required.
Linkerd will automatically encrypt traffic with mTLS out of the box.
I think Istio added that feature recently.
Linkerd is much easier to install and use, and its proxy is faster and uses fewer resources.
