Istio Multicluster Strategies: What's the best way to approach?

For multi-cluster setups Tetrate recommends avoiding cross-talk between k8s apiservers and Istiods across clusters. A multi-cluster setup should be behind gateways that expose services to be consumed by remote clusters in a very controlled way. You’d want your control plane and each cluster isolated from each other.

Tetrate's Zack Butcher, Vikas Choudhary, and Weston Carlson answer questions about Istio-- DNS proxy, debugging, multi-cluster and more-- in this live Ask Me Anything #TetrateAMA webinar (Dec 16, 20).

Topics include how to approach multi cluster, integrating VMs in the Istio mesh, resources for performance and debugging, the purpose of an ingress gateway, and what's coming in 1.9.
