Organizations running applications across multiple
Kubernetes clusters often face challenges with performance, global service
discovery, and observability due to the complexity of distributed microservice
environments. Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager now provides Cross Cluster
Networking, delivering a managed Cilium cluster mesh that simplifies
configuration and centralizes management of multi‑cluster networking. This
capability enables unified connectivity across AKS clusters, creates a global
service registry for cross‑cluster service discovery, and supports intelligent
routing.
For technical practitioners, this
reduces operational overhead by removing the need to manually configure a
Cilium mesh, improves scalability and resilience for multi‑cluster deployments,
and offers unified observability through shared network metrics and flow logs.
It also provides efficient packet processing and reduced latency through eBPF‑based
networking.
