Here is a comprehensive zero-trust multi-cloud network architecture:

## Core Principles
1. **Identity-based access** - All connections authenticated and authorized
2. **Micro-segmentation** - Fine-grained network isolation
3. **Continuous verification** - Real-time trust assessment

## Architecture Components

### AWS VPC Design
- Public subnets: NAT Gateways, ALBs
- Private subnets: Application tier (EC2, ECS)
- Database subnets: RDS with private endpoints
- Transit Gateway for VPC peering

### Azure VNet Design
- Hub-spoke topology with Azure Firewall
- Private endpoints for PaaS services
- VPN Gateway for hybrid connectivity

### GCP VPC Design
- Shared VPC for centralized networking
- Cloud NAT for private instance egress
- Cloud Load Balancing for global distribution

### Zero-Trust Connectivity
- mTLS for all service communication
- Network policies in Kubernetes
- Short-lived certificates with automated rotation

## SSL/TLS Termination Architecture

### Components
1. **Certificate Authority**: Let's Encrypt (automated)
2. **Certificate Manager**: cert-manager (Kubernetes)
3. **Load Balancer**: Nginx Ingress with TLS termination

### Implementation Steps

1. Install cert-manager:
```
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.13.0/cert-manager.yaml
```

2. Create ClusterIssuer for Let's Encrypt:
```yaml
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
name: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
acme:
server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
email: admin@example.com
privateKeySecretRef:
name: letsencrypt-prod
solvers:
- http01:
ingressClass: nginx
```

3. Annotate Ingress for automatic certs:
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
```

### mTLS Setup for Service Mesh
- Use Istio mesh for automatic mTLS
- Configure peer authentication for strict mTLS
- Implement certificate rotation every 24 hours
