2.20.3. Federation security
Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh federation takes an opinionated approach to a multi-cluster implementation of Service Mesh that assumes minimal trust between meshes. Data security is built in as part of the federation features.
- Each mesh is considered to be a unique tenant, with a unique administration.
- You create a unique trust domain for each mesh in the federation.
- Traffic between the federated meshes is automatically encrypted using mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS).
- The Kiali graph only displays your mesh and services that you have imported. You cannot see the other mesh or services that have not been imported into your mesh.
