Chapter 1. Introduction to Application Interconnect 1.0
Application Interconnect introduces a service network, linking services across the hybrid cloud.
A service network enables communication between services running in different network locations. It allows geographically distributed services to connect as if they were all running in the same site.

For example, you can deploy your frontend in a public OpenShift cluster and deploy your backend on a local network, then connect them into a service network.
You deploy and manage a service network, including a gateway, using the skupper CLI.
