Enabling this addon will deploy the necessary services and proxies for the  
linkerd service mesh.

```bash
microk8s enable linkerd

```

Linkerd includes a command line utility. For convenience, MicroK8s ships  
with this utility. You can verify that the utility and linkerd are  
configured and working by running:

```bash
microk8s linkerd check

```
