Interconnecting Cloud Applications with Skupper
summary
Skupper claims a working Virtual Application Network that links Kubernetes clusters, VMs and bare‑metal, using routers and gateways to expose services by name rather than IP so applications need no code changes. It uses mTLS with a dedicated certificate authority, link tokens to authorize sites, and a proxy/router data plane that forwards traffic and supports HTTP/HTTP2/gRPC/JDBC and IoT use cases. The demo shows commands to install routers, create links, expose services, and a Prometheus‑backed console with topology — a practical migration and multi‑site routing workflow that is shown as functioning.
