This topic describes how to federate multiple clusters.
Prerequisites
- You have created two Kubernetes clusters. For more information, see Create a cluster of ACK Managed Edition.
- Use kubectl to connect to a cluster.
- You have deployed cluster federation. For more information, see Deploy a cluster federation.
Background information
In disaster recovery scenarios, you may deploy your workloads across multiple regions.
This needs you to manage Kubernetes clusters across different regions. Kubernetes
Cluster Federation (KubeFed) is a multi-cluster management project developed within
the Kubernetes community. It enables managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across
regions and cloud service providers. With KubeFed, you can coordinate the configurations
of multiple Kubernetes clusters through a single set of APIs in a hosting cluster.
For more information about KubeFed concepts, see this GitHub project.
