East-west gateways

Configure ztunnels and east-west gateways for in-mesh routing in your ambient mesh.
In-mesh routing is facilitated by ztunnels and east-west gateways (in multicluster setups). For more information about how routing works in an ambient mesh, see the traffic management overview.
Set up in-mesh routing

Set up in-mesh routing in your ambient mesh in the following ways.
Ztunnels: You initially create ztunnels when you follow the steps to use the Gloo Operator or Helm to set up an ambient mesh. Then, to enable in-mesh routing, simply label your service namespaces to be included in the ambient mesh. The label instructs the ztunnel instance that is co-located on the same node to configure a ztunnel socket on the app pod. To get started, see the sample apps guide.
East-west gateways (multicluster only): In a multicluster environment, start by following the steps to use the Gloo Operator or Helm to create a multicluster ambient mesh. These steps involve peering the cluster networks, and deploying the east-west gateway to each cluster.
