href=/v1.1/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/>Control Egress Traffic</a> task demonstrates how external, i.e., outside of the
service mesh, HTTP and HTTPS services can be accessed from applications inside the mesh. As described in that task,
a <a href=/v1.1/docs/reference/config/networking/v1alpha3/service-entry/><code>ServiceEntry</code></a> is used to configure Istio
to access external services in a controlled way.
This example shows how to configure Istio to perform <a href=/v1.1/help/glossary/#tls-origination>TLS origination</a>
for traffic to an external service. Istio will open HTTPS connections to the external service while the original
traffic is HTTP.</p><h2 id=use-case>Use case</h2><p>Consider a legacy application that performs HTTP calls to external sites. Suppose the organization that operates the
application receives a new requirement which states that all the external traffic must be encrypted. With Istio,
this requirement can be achieved just by configuration, without changing any code in the application.
The application can send unencrypted HTTP requests and Istio will then encrypt them for the application.</p><p>Another benefit of sending unencrypted HTTP requests from the source, and letting Istio perform the TLS upgrade,
is that Istio can produce better telemetry and provide more routing control for requests that are not encrypted.</p><h2 id=before-you-begin>Before you begin</h2><ul><li><p>Setup Istio by following the instructions in the <a href=/v1.1/docs/setup/>Installation guide</a>.</p></li><li><p>Start the <a href=https://github.com/istio/istio/tree/release-1.1/samples/sleep>sleep</a> sample which will be used as a test source for external calls.</p><p>If you have enabled <a href=/v1.1/docs/setup/kubernetes/additional-setup/sidecar-injection/#automatic-sidecar-injection>automatic sidecar injection</a>, deploy the <code>sleep</code> application:</p><div><a data-skipendnotes=true style=display:none href=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.1/samples/sleep/sleep.yaml>Zip</a><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true>$ kubectl apply -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@

for the HTTP request to <code>http://edition.cnn.com/politics</code>.

<code>DestinationRule</code> then performs the TLS origination.
Notice that unlike the <code>ServiceEntry</code> in the previous section, this time the protocol on port 443 is HTTP, instead of HTTPS.

the original HTTP request was forwarded to <code>edition.cnn.com</code> as HTTPS. The server returned the content directly,
without the need for redirection. You eliminated the double round trip between the client and the server, and the
request left the mesh encrypted, without disclosing the fact that your application fetched the <em>politics</em> section
of <code>edition.cnn.com</code>.</p><p>Note that you used the same command as in the previous section. For applications that access external services
programmatically, the code does not need to be changed. You get the benefits of TLS origination by configuring Istio,
without changing a line of code.</p></li></ol><h2 id=additional-security-considerations>Additional security considerations</h2><p>Because the traffic between the application pod and the sidecar proxy on the local host is still unencrypted,
an attacker that is able to penetrate the node of your application would still be able to see the unencrypted
communication on the local network of the node. In some environments a strict security requirement
might state that all the traffic must be encrypted, even on the local network of the nodes.
With such a strict requirement, applications should use HTTPS (TLS) only. The TLS origination described in this
example would not be sufficient.</p><p>Also note that even with HTTPS originated by the application, an attacker could know that requests to <code>edition.cnn.com</code>
are being sent by inspecting <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication>Server Name Indication (SNI)</a>.
The <em>SNI</em> field is sent unencrypted during the TLS handshake. Using HTTPS prevents the attackers from knowing specific
topics and articles but does not prevent an attackers from learning that <code>edition.cnn.com</code> is accessed.</p><h2 id=cleanup>Cleanup</h2><ol><li><p>Remove the Istio configuration items you created:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true>$ kubectl delete serviceentry edition-cnn-com
