Cloud-Edge InCloud-Edge Interconnect: Doing It Right With The Skupper project
summary
Skupper implements a Virtual Application Network that routes by service name (anycast/multicast) across sites using the Apache Qpid Dispatch Router, exposing HTTP/MQTT/AMQP services without application changes. Site links use mutual TLS so there are no VPNs or admin privileges needed; routers run per-site (Kubernetes or Docker) and handle locality, load balancing and fast failure detection. Qpid Dispatch Router is production‑mature (6+ years); Skupper itself is early but functional for dev and lightweight production use.
