Ztunnel is a zero-trust tunnel agent, and its primary responsibility is to securely connect and authenticate elements within the mesh. The ztunnel performs no L7 processing on workload traffic, making it significantly leaner than sidecars. This large reduction in complexity and associated resource costs make it amenable to delivery as shared infrastructure.

The ztunnel (zero trust tunnel) component is a purpose-built per-node proxy for Istio ambient mesh.
