Cloud Service Mesh GCPAuthzPolicy on GKE sidecars in Preview
Configuring authorization policies (GCPAuthzPolicy) on Cloud Service Mesh
sidecars on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is now available
(Preview). This
feature is supported only for Cloud Service Mesh with the Gateway API. You can
allow or deny inbound HTTP requests at the namespace or workload level, or
delegate decisions to an external authorization engine (GCPAuthzExtension).
For more information, see
