Which Edge Are You on? Service Affinity with Cilium Cluster Mesh
Talkat Kubernetes on Edge Day North America 2022 · on Tuesday, 2022-10-25· at 11:45· Room 250 ABC, Huntington Place: 1 Washington Blvd·
summary
Cilium Cluster Mesh uses eBPF to advertise per-cluster endpoints as a globalService=true ClusterIP annotation, then enforces serviceAffinity=local or serviceAffinity=remote routing rules to prefer local or remote endpoints and fall back to cross-cluster endpoints on failure. It requires non-overlapping pod IPs, a VPN or load‑balanced API server, and a recent kernel. Works across GKE/OpenShift/on-prem, provides identity-based observability, and claims about 3-4x latency reduction versus sidecar meshes by avoiding per-pod proxies.
