Integrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux VMs into OpenShift Service Mesh

This blog post discusses the integration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines (VMs) into the OpenShift Service Mesh, focusing on how to securely connect external VM workloads to containerized applications. The post details the architecture, required configurations, and benefits of this integration, such as enhanced security through mutual TLS and improved observability. It walks through the steps involved in setting up and connecting a VM-based database to a microservice architecture, using the Bookinfo application as an example. The content is particularly relevant for developers seeking to understand hybrid cloud-native architectures and security practices in service mesh environments.
