Admiral – Enabling Multi-Cluster Mesh

Intuit has hundred+ K8s clusters for better isolation and manageability across the enterprise. As services get deployed across these clusters, having a service mesh with a single control plane does not scale and creates availability issue. In making a mesh platform provide end-to-end encryption, we defined a pattern for federated workload identities and learned to manage a federated set of mesh control planes. We will share these learnings and an emerging open-source technology that made it all possible - Admiral.
