Environments, where we deploy our microservices, needs to be protected from outside threats. Cloud-native microservice applications are secured using certificates, real-time threat monitoring etc. When nodes are dynamically scaled, the challenge is how can we bootstrap trust between newly scaled nodes and the existing ones.
