Description

Description

Introduce view isolation for metrics, defined by Kubernetes RBAC, to provide multi-tenancy to security conscious organizations. We previously have done this using an APIService for tap functionality.

The smi-metrics project already implements Linkerd metrics as an APIService. This has the added value of dogfooding smi-metrics and providing common tooling for other integrations in the future.
