Chapter 4. Connecting namespaces to create a service network

With the service network routers installed, you can connect them together securely and allow service sharing across the service network.

Procedure

  1. In the west terminal session, create a connection token to allow connection to the west namespace:

    $ skupper token create $HOME/secret.yaml

    This command creates the secret.yaml file in your home directory, which you can use to create the secure connection.

  2. In the east terminal session, use the token to create a connection to the west namespace:

    $ skupper link create $HOME/secret.yaml
  3. Check the site status from the west terminal session:

    $ skupper status

    The output should be similar to the following:

    Skupper is enabled for namespace "west" in interior mode. It is connected to 1 other site. It has no exposed services.
    The site console url is:  https://<skupper-url>
    The credentials for internal console-auth mode are held in secret: 'skupper-console-users'
