Need doc on authorization policy
This is very tricky to get it right for ambient, I expect the doc to cover:
L4 authz policy L7 authz policy Strategy moving from L4 authz policy to L7 authz policy Various scenarios on if authz policy is enforces:
- with waypoint or without
- use workload selector or targetRef(s)
- client is out of mesh or sidecar or ingress gw.
- does destination ztunnel always trust the destination waypoint?
cc @louiscryan if you have other thoughts.
I can probably tackle/repurpose the L4 authZ policy doc. It may also be helpful to have a doc about how to reason about authorization generally in Ambient
Thanks Keith! Agreed, a doc on understanding authz in general for ambient would be good.
Looking into creating something for "Various scenarios on if authz policy is enforces"
