TLS (and HTTPS, which is HTTP over TLS) provides _authenticated encryption_: an _identity dialtone_ and _end-to-end encryption_ for your workloads. It's like a secure line with caller ID. This has all sorts of benefits: better security, compliance, and easier auditability for starters. It **makes workloads identity-aware**, improving observability and enabling granular access control. Perhaps most compelling, mTLS lets you securely communicate with workloads running anywhere, not just inside kubernetes.
