Multicluster Installation

Configure an Istio mesh spanning multiple Kubernetes clusters.

Replicated control planes

Install an Istio mesh across multiple Kubernetes clusters with replicated control plane instances.

Shared control plane (single and multiple networks)

Install an Istio mesh across multiple Kubernetes clusters with a shared control plane.

Note that these instructions are not mutually exclusive. In a large multicluster deployment, composed from more than two clusters, a combination of the approaches can be used. For example, two clusters might share a control plane while a third has its own.

Refer to the multicluster deployment model concept documentation for more information.
