# Configuring Service Meshes
## Overview
Configure service meshes (Istio, Linkerd, Consul Connect) for Kubernetes microservices architectures. Generate mTLS configurations, traffic management rules (routing, splitting, mirroring), observability integrations (distributed tracing, metrics), and resilience patterns (retries, circuit breakers, timeouts).
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes cluster accessible via `kubectl` with admin permissions
- Service mesh CLI installed: `istioctl`, `linkerd`, or `consul`
- Helm 3+ for service mesh installation charts
- Understanding of microservice communication patterns and dependencies
- Observability backend available (Jaeger, Zipkin, or Prometheus/Grafana) for tracing and metrics
