multi-cluster gateway
A multi-cluster gateway provides unified ingress and egress routing, service discovery, and security enforcement for applications spanning multiple clusters.
A multi-cluster gateway is a network component that connects applications and services deployed across separate clusters by providing a single entry point for ingress and egress traffic, abstracting cluster boundaries and simplifying connectivity.
It centralizes routing and policy enforcement, directing requests based on DNS, path, or service metadata, while applying consistent security controls and traffic shaping rules across clusters to ensure reliability and compliance.
Multi-cluster gateways integrate with Kubernetes and service mesh technologies to synchronize service registries, perform health checks, and enable cross-cluster failover and load balancing. Proper configuration of authentication, encryption, and network segmentation is vital to maintain security and performance.
