Cluster mesh

With cluster mesh, you can secure cross-cluster connections using identity-aware network policy and federate services for cross-cluster service discovery.

Overview

Calico Cloud cluster mesh concepts for connected clusters including pod IP routability, federated endpoint identity, federated services, and overlay networking.

Configure federated services

Configure a Calico Cloud federated service with the Tigera Federated Services Controller to surface endpoints from connected clusters in the SaaS plane.

Cluster mesh example for clusters in AWS

Sample Calico Cloud cluster mesh configuration that peers an on-premises cluster with an AWS VPC cluster using BGP, NLB, and the Federated Services Controller.

Creating the cluster mesh

Connect Calico Cloud connected clusters into a cluster mesh by generating per-cluster kubeconfig credentials and RemoteClusterConfiguration with VXLAN or WireGuard.
