Install a sample application and Mesh it using Linkerd | Linkerd tutorial | Troubleshooting app

This video demonstrates how to install a demo application called Emojivoto and then mesh it with Linkerd. Emojivoto is a simple standalone Kubernetes application that uses a mix of gRPC and HTTP calls to allow the user to vote on their favorite emojis. This application is a little broken! These are intentional and we will see how to troubleshoot such issues with the help of Linkerd. We will also validate whether mTLS is in effect!
