Modern systems often require cross-cluster connectivity for failover, replication or shared services architectures, but these patterns introduce challenges. How do you establish zero-trust across clusters? Ensure quality observability across clouds? Debug inter-cluster traffic while enabling reliable service and infrastructure communication?

This talk demonstrates how Dapr and Cilium, both CNCF graduated projects, simplify cross-cluster, cross-cloud connectivity. See a live demo showcasing how Dapr provides straightforward APIs for building workflow, state and data apps while enabling seamless deployment across clouds without code changes. Paired with Cilium’s Multi-Cluster Mesh, see how services in one cluster interact with resources in another without sacrificing security, reliability or observability.

Attendees will gain practical knowledge for overcoming cross-cluster, cross-cloud architecture challenges while following microservices best practices and saving development time.
