It isn't.

No, not really.

Frankly, no.

I'm tempted to agree only in one aspect, which is apparently you are completely unfamiliar with the topic, and the degree of confusion you are showing in your comments suggest you would benefit from an introductory course on the topic, or in the very lease a 5-minute read through the service's documentation.

Certification wold only help because you would need to learn the basics to pass those, and learning the basics would be enough to prevent you to fill in the gaps in your understanding with fabricated nonsense.

> The complexity of a properly configured service mesh in AWS is staggering, extremely hard for newbies to get right, and easy to fuck up big time down the road. That hurts security.

People being way over their head because they can't even grasp a FAQ will definitely hurt security, but the root cause of this failure mode is sheer incompetence.

As the saying goes, poor craftsman blame their tools, and here you are with a tool-blaming fest.
