Kubernetes: Multi-cluster communication with Flomesh Service Mesh (Part 2)
In part 1 of this series, we briefly touched on the use cases for multi-cluster requirements and talked about the motivation and goals of FSM and its architecture. In this part of the series we demonstrated how to implement cross-cluster traffic scheduling and load balancing of services, and try three different global traffic policies: local cluster scheduling only, failover, and global load balancing.

Kubernetes: Multi-cluster communication with Flomesh Service Mesh (Demo)
In Part 1 we covered the motives, goals, and architecture of Flomesh Service Mesh and in this blog post we are going to demonstrate how to use FSM and lightweight SMI-compatible Service Mesh osm-edge to achieve multi-cluster service discovery & communication.

Kubernetes: Multi-cluster communication with Flomesh Service Mesh
Flomesh Service Mesh(FSM) from Flomesh is a Kubernetes North-South traffic manager, that provides Ingress controllers, Gateway API, Load Balancer, and cross-cluster service registration and service discovery. FSM uses Pipy - a programmable network proxy, as its data plane and is suitable for cloud, edge, and IoT.

Why You Should Use k3d for Local Development. A Developer's Guide
k3d is a lightweight wrapper that makes running Kubernetes (specifically, the lightweight k3s distribution) in Docker straightforward and efficient. It's designed to provide developers with a quick and easy way to test Kubernetes without the overhead of setting up a full cluster.

Unable to launch older version (v2.6.8) of Rancher
You don’t need to run Rancher from a Kubernetes cluster, the rancher/rancher image works fine with Docker (it uses k3d, aka « k3s in docker » : https://k3d.io/).

Local Kubernetes Playground Made Easy
If you are a developer and want to learn how to deploy applications to a cluster, getting a cluster up an running can be a daunting task in it's own rights. There are many ways to do it: spinning up local virtual machines and configuring from scratch or using tools like minikube, etc. You may not care for the pain of setting up and configuring a cluster, and if that is you, then the quickest way that I have found is using k3d.
