Managed workload identity is available for backend mutual TLS (mTLS) in

## Feature Feature **Managed workload identity** is available for **backend mutual TLS (mTLS)** in global external Application Load Balancers. This feature allows to: * **Streamline certificate management**: Managed workload identity enables automated certificate and trust management for backend mTLS through seamless integration with Certificate Authority Service and Certificate Manager. * **Eliminate operational toil**: Certificates are automatically rotated based on the workload identity pool's configuration, removing the complexity and manual bottleneck of private key provisioning and maintenance. * **Improve visibility and governance**: Gain visibility into communication between distributed services and proactively apply governance to workloads across environments.
