Powering multi-cluster workloads with seamless cross‑cluster networking for Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager
As organizations modernize their application portfolios, we are witnessing a fundamental shift in how cloud-native infrastructure is architected. No longer is the question “How do we scale a cluster?” but rather “How do we scale across clusters, regions, and clouds while maintaining operational simplicity?”
Today, we are thrilled to announce the public preview of cross-cluster networking for Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager. This capability represents the next evolution in multi-cluster management by introducing transparent E-W multi-cluster networking powered by Advanced Container Networking Services.
The challenge of multi-cluster networking
Whether driven by regulatory requirements, regional disaster recovery, or the need to isolate blast domains, organizations of every size often run multiple Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. However, managing these clusters has historically introduced a “networking tax.” Traditional approaches rely on complex VPNs, gateways, and manual service discovery, adding latency and operational complexity.
Even when operating just a few...
