Deploying a Multi-Region Cluster Mesh

In this lab, you will get hands-on experience setting up cross-cluster communication.

Step 1: Provision the Infrastructure

Using Terraform, provision two lightweight Kubernetes clusters in different cloud regions.

Step 2: Install Cilium

Install the Cilium CNI on both clusters, ensuring you enable the Cluster Mesh features.

Step 3: Connect the Clusters

Extract the mesh configuration from cluster A and apply it to cluster B to establish a secure tunnel.

Step 4: Deploy and Test a Global Service

Deploy a test application in both clusters and verify that traffic is load-balanced transparently between the two regions.
