A binary deployed by [operators](/docs/reference/glossary/#operator) to deliver some function of a service mesh application.
|
|
Workloads have names, namespaces, and unique ids. These properties are available in policy and telemetry configuration
|
|
using the following [attributes](/docs/reference/glossary/#attribute):
|
|
|
|
* `source.workload.name`, `source.workload.namespace`, `source.workload.uid`
|
|
* `destination.workload.name`, `destination.workload.namespace`, `destination.workload.uid`
|
|
|
|
In Kubernetes, a workload typically corresponds to a Kubernetes deployment,
|
|
while a [workload instance](/docs/reference/glossary/#workload-instance) corresponds to an individual [pod](/docs/reference/glossary/#pod) managed
|
|
by the deployment.
