The blog post discusses the challenges and potential solutions for running a distributed system across multiple Kubernetes clusters, emphasizing that while Kubernetes has improved in features like dynamic volume provisioning and multi-zone clusters, it still struggles with multi-region and multi-cluster setups due to networking issues. The author explores various strategies, including static pod placement, using external load balancers, direct pod IP communication, DNS chaining, and Istio, each with its pros and cons related to performance, security, and complexity. The core issue lies in establishing reliable pod-to-pod communication and stable network addresses across clusters, with different networking solutions offering varying degrees of support and feasibility. Recent advancements in projects like Istio, Cilium, and Crossplane show promise, but a universally reliable solution remains elusive, requiring time and effort for configuration and maintenance.
