Multi-Cluster Networking and Service Discovery Leveraging NRI

Explore multi-cluster networking and service discovery leveraging Node Resource Interface (NRI) in this 33-minute conference talk from CNCF. Discover an innovative solution for establishing an independent and unified parallel network for east-west traffic across clusters without intrusive modifications or CNI limitations. Learn about a hybrid approach for inter-cluster communication, allowing clusters to connect through a hub cluster with public IP or directly when available. Understand how cross-cluster service discovery follows the MCS standard for seamless service access. Gain insights into overcoming challenges in projects like the "East-to-West Computing Resource Transfer Project" where clusters lack public IPs and have diverse CNIs. Watch a live demonstration showcasing the functionality of this Kubernetes and application-agnostic solution.
