I want Help Setting Up a Linkerd Service Mesh

Linkerd General Discussion

Hello everyone,

I m working on setting up Linkerd as a service mesh for our microservices architecture & could use some guidance; I have followed the official documentation and installed Linkerd on our Kubernetes cluster but I am facing some challenges.

Some of our services are not showing up in the Linkerd dashboard. I have double checked the annotations and deployments but I am not sure if there is a misconfiguration or something I might be missing.

We have noticed a slight increase in latency for some of our services since installing Linkerd. I am curious if there are any recommended tuning parameters or best practices for minimizing overhead.

Also i have read this resorse/artical; https://linkerd.buoyant.io/t/metadata-agentname-for-linkerd-buoyantpower-bi but have not found any solution still need your advice. if you have any advice please share with me .

We would like to allow mutual TLS for our services. Could anyone provide advice on the best way to configure this or share any pitfalls to avoid? :thinking:

Thank you.

Hi @evangraves

Ensure Linkerd is properly injected into your services by checking annotations, proxy logs, and network policies. To address latency, optimize proxy resource limits, adjust retry policies, and streamline features. For mTLS, confirm it’s enabled, align trust domains, and use custom certificates if required.
