In this hands-on lab, you’ll configure Gloo Mesh in ambient mode to integrate with SPIRE for secure workload identity and certificate management. By the end of this lab, you'll understand how to:

• Install and configure SPIRE as a certificate authority
• Integrate SPIRE with Gloo Mesh and Istio Ambient
• Issue and verify SPIFFE identities for mesh workloads
• Observe secure, identity-based communication using ztunnel
