I don't think that I need mtls and extra CPU load for useless (to me) encryption does not sound so good. Can I opt-out of this specific feature?
Also I'm worried about its pervasiveness. Is it possible to enable those side-cars only on selected pods?
So to answer my own question:
It's not possible to disable mtls with meshed services, no configuration option for this particular feature.
There's no pervasiveness with linkerd, one need to add `linkerd.io/inject: enabled` annotation to the target service and restart deployment.
