How to Create Multi-Cloud Service Mesh with Kuma

Kuma, an Envoy-based service mesh now part of the CNCF, is designed to operate seamlessly across various clusters, clouds, and applications, catering to the diverse architecture needs of large organizations. With the introduction of advanced multi-zone capabilities in version 0.6, Kuma supports integration across every cloud vendor, architecture, and platform, enabling automatic service discovery and connectivity in hybrid infrastructures. This feature allows Kuma to manage multiple isolated meshes within the same cluster, enhancing security and reducing operational costs by negating the need for multiple service mesh clusters. Its architecture includes global and remote control planes, utilizing Envoy xDS and Kuma Discovery Service (KDS) over gRPC for consistent communication across service mesh infrastructure. This setup ensures high availability and disaster recovery by enabling cross-zone communication and connectivity, facilitated by features like a built-in DNS service discovery and a new ingress data plane proxy mode. Kuma's approach simplifies the deployment and management of service meshes in complex environments, making it suitable for diverse enterprise and distributed settings.
