Preface

This tutorial demonstrates how to connect a frontend service on a OpenShift cluster with a backend service on a OpenShift cluster using the skupper command-line interface (CLI).

See Introduction to Application Interconnect for an introduction to Application Interconnect.

Prerequisites

  • Access to projects in two OpenShift clusters, cluster-admin access is not required.
  • One of the OpenShift clusters must be addressable from the other cluster.
  • kubectl and oc CLI. Many commands can be performed using oc, however this tutorial shows the kubectl options.

This tutorial shows how to connect the following namespaces:

  • west - runs the frontend service and is typically a public cluster.
  • east - runs the backend service.
