ServiceMeshCon Europe 2020

The more services connected by a mesh, the more value in consistent observability, security, and routing can be achieved. In today's complex heterogeneous environments, deploying everything into a single cluster and single mesh can be impossible. In this talk we look at some of the options and challenges for adopting a service mesh across multiple clusters and potentially across multiple meshes. We look at the challenges such as federating identity, single pane of glass for observability, developing policies et. al, as well as ways to solve these challenges. The patterns discussed here are not mesh specific and will use Istio, Linkerd, and App Mesh as examples.
