+### Template 5: Linkerd mTLS (Automatic)
+
+```yaml
+# Linkerd enables mTLS automatically
+# Verify with:
+# linkerd viz edges deployment -n my-namespace
+
+# For external services without mTLS
+apiVersion: policy.linkerd.io/v1beta1
+kind: Server
+metadata:
+  name: external-api
+  namespace: my-namespace
+spec:
+  podSelector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: my-app
+  port: external-api
+  proxyProtocol: HTTP/1 # or TLS for passthrough
+---
+# Skip TLS for specific port
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+  name: my-service
+  annotations:
+    config.linkerd.io/skip-outbound-ports: "3306" # MySQL
+```
+
+## Certificate Rotation
+
+```bash
+# Istio - Check certificate expiry
+istioctl proxy-config secret deploy/my-app -o json | \
+  jq '.dynamicActiveSecrets[0].secret.tlsCertificate.certificateChain.inlineBytes' | \
+  tr -d '"' | base64 -d | openssl x509 -text -noout
+
+# Force certificate rotation
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/my-app
+
+# Check Linkerd identity
+linkerd identity -n my-namespace
+```
+
+## Debugging mTLS Issues
+
+```bash
+# Istio - Check if mTLS is enabled
+istioctl authn tls-check my-service.my-namespace.svc.cluster.local
+
+# Verify peer authentication
+kubectl get peerauthentication --all-namespaces
+
+# Check destination rules
+kubectl get destinationrule --all-namespaces
+
+# Debug TLS handshake
+istioctl proxy-config log deploy/my-app --level debug
+kubectl logs deploy/my-app -c istio-proxy | grep -i tls
+
+# Linkerd - Check mTLS status
+linkerd viz edges deployment -n my-namespace
+linkerd viz tap deploy/my-app --to deploy/my-backend
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Do's
+
+- **Start with PERMISSIVE** - Migrate gradually to STRICT
+- **Monitor certificate expiry** - Set up alerts
+- **Use short-lived certs** - 24h or less for workloads
+- **Rotate CA periodically** - Plan for CA rotation
+- **Log TLS errors** - For debugging and audit
+
+### Don'ts
+
+- **Don't disable mTLS** - For convenience in production
+- **Don't ignore cert expiry** - Automate rotation
+- **Don't use self-signed certs** - Use proper CA hierarchy
+- **Don't skip verification** - Verify the full chain
