Leveraging Service Mesh For Enterprise Multi-Cloud Strategy
summary
Claim: service mesh plus private cloud-to-cloud networking lets a real Bookinfo microservice span GKE and AKS across two providers. Demo uses Istio with Equinix virtual routers and private circuits (cloud interconnect / ExpressRoute-style links) to route traffic and move reviews v3 from GKE to AKS. Cutting the VLAN attachment breaks cross-cloud calls and degrades that version; restoring it brings v3 back—so private connectivity plus service mesh actually works for failover, best-of-breed placement, and active-active patterns.
