Keynote: Multi-Cloud and Multi-Cluster with CNCF’s Kuma on Kubernetes and VMs

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Kuma is a control plane using Envoy that runs a single deployment spanning multi-zone deployment across AWS and GCP with three Kubernetes clusters plus EC2 VMs, providing automatic policy propagation and hybrid VMs and Kubernetes connectivity. The demo shows global control plane → remote zones, enabling cross-zone calls once mutual TLS is enabled, with Kuma auto-generating and rotating CAs so hybrid services achieve zero‑trust connectivity; users report production scale and a 10k TPS federal use case.
