Skupper: Hybrid cloud interconnect

for Kubernetes applications

In this month's Developer Corner series, we’ll discuss Skupper: Hybrid cloud interconnect for Kubernetes applications.

Today we have distributed applications running on multiple clouds, but we need them to operate like they’re all running locally. If you want to deploy your Kubernetes application across multiple clusters, you can choose to either expose your services to the public internet or set up a VPN. Skupper offers a third way.

So, what is Skupper? Skupper is a layer 7 service interconnect that facilitates a more security-focused communication across Kubernetes clusters without VPNs or special firewall rules. It connects clusters to a secure layer 7 network and uses the network to forward local service traffic to remote clusters. For example, you can host your database services on a private cluster and retain full connectivity with services running on a public cloud. Skupper uses redundant network paths and smart routing to provide highly available connectivity at scale. 

In this session, we will show the basic concepts that make Skupper available to process hybrid cloud calls between services and will get started with a simple demo. Register now to reserve your spot.
