Connecting the Dots: Skupper.io as an application modernization Enabler
summary
Skupper.io builds a layer-7 overlay that lets services keep stable names instead of IPs and uses routers plus tokens to form a mesh; setup uses the CLI commands scupper init/link/create and scupper expose. Demo connects OpenShift (AWS), a real VM data center and Azure in minutes, enables mTLS between sites, automatic load balancing and failover (100 calls split ~52/48 between two payment instances), indirect routing via a third site when direct links fail, and recommends two routers per site for HA.
