istioctl multicluster expose

Page as Markdown
Reference for the istioctl multicluster expose command.
istioctl multicluster expose

Expose mesh-enrolled services in a cluster for remote access through an east-west gateway.
Synopsis

‘istioctl multicluster expose’ creates an east-west gateway to facilitate traffic
between services in each cluster in your multicluster mesh. The east-west gateway,
which uses the ‘istio-eastwest’ gateway class, is implemented as a ztunnel. Example
use cases include deploying an east-west gateway to each Kubernetes cluster in a
multicluster ambient mesh, to facilitate traffic between services across clusters
in the mesh; or deploying an east-west gateway in the ambient mesh of a Kubernetes
cluster to receive requests from ECS cluster services enrolled in the mesh.
