This is an exciting space to watch. As it grows, it gives us a really good start to doing multi-cloud implementations and providing redundancy across regions, data centers, and even cloud providers.
While Kubernetes does provide an easy and exciting path to multi-cloud infrastructure, it's important to note that production multi-cloud requires much more than distributed deployments. A full set of capabilities from logging and monitoring to compliance and host-hardening, there is much to manage in a multi-provider setup.
True multi-cloud adoption will require a well-planned architecture, and Kubernetes takes a big step forward in pursuing this goal.
In this exercise, we're going to unite two clusters using Istio's multi-cloud feature. Normally, we'd create two clusters from scratch, across two CSPs, but for the purposes of exploring one single isolated concept at a time, we're going to use the GKE to spin up our clusters, so we can focus on the inner...
