Tigera: Calico Demo: Istio Ambient Mode: mTLS, Traffic Control, and Visibility for Kubernetes

As part of Calico’s unified networking, network security, and observability platform, Istio Ambient Mode delivers a simpler, sidecarless service mesh that reduces operational overhead while providing built-in mTLS, traffic control, and deep visibility across Kubernetes workloads.

• How Istio Ambient Mode works without sidecars while still enabling mTLS, deep L7 visibility, and application traffic control.
• How Istio Ambient Mode enables mutual TLS for secure pod-to-pod traffic and compliance
• How waypoint proxies work to secure east-west application traffic at scale
• Best practices for adopting Istio Ambient Mode in real-world Kubernetes environments

Join us to see how Calico and Istio Ambient Mode work together to simplify service mesh operations, making it easier for practitioners to secure, observe, and scale Kubernetes applications without added complexity.
