> but certainly pods should be talking to each other over TLS

They do under that scheme. TLS is terminated at the gateway, but k8s/sidecars handle m2m TLS. This provides some advantages for automating short-lived certs, makes deployments more simple, etc and helps your pods remain unaware they are pods (kind of the holy grail of "cloud").

A lot of your edge/serverless stuff will be similar from my understanding.
