Building a Multi-Cloud Service Mesh from the Ground Up with Kilo
summary
Shows how to build a working multi‑cluster service mesh using Kilo + WireGuard to create routable pod and service CIDRs across two clusters, with unique pod/service CIDRs, an overlay for encrypted cross‑cloud traffic, and DNS‑native discovery via the Multi‑Cluster Services API. Demonstrates a webcam service accessed from the other cluster after creating a manual service mirror, then automates it with a control loop in service-reflector; demo succeeds and WireGuard scales to tens of thousands of peers.
