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.
