The presentation discusses how Cilium and its ClusterMesh feature can simplify connectivity across multiple clusters in a cloud-agnostic way, enabling connectivity between services spread across clouds, load balancing requests across backends in multiple clusters, connectivity between Kubernetes and legacy workloads, mutually-authenticated, encrypted connections between services, and multi-cluster network policies. The presentation also addresses challenges related to IP address management, scale, and observability of multi-cluster networks, and how Cilium can help.
