For SPIRE to be able to attest workloads and distribute SVIDs to them, we’ll have to register the nodes and the workloads to SPIRE. That’s what this section is all about.

To establish an identity control plane, we’ll need SPIRE. This section will deploy SPIRE to the clusters.

We’ll continue creating creating container images and deploying the client app to the cluster too, then observe how the client and server communicate with each other within the pods.

This section will bundle the server application, create and image out of it, create deployment manifests, and deploy it into the cluster.

This section will create the client app and establish connectivity between the client and the server. The connectivity is insecure: There is no mTLS security yet—we’ll come to that later.
