Install Multicluster

Follow this guide to install an Istio {{< gloss >}}service mesh{{< /gloss >}} that spans multiple {{< gloss "cluster" >}}clusters{{< /gloss >}}.

This guide covers some of the most common concerns when creating a {{< gloss >}}multicluster{{< /gloss >}} mesh:

• Network topologies: one or two networks

• Control plane topologies: multiple {{< gloss "primary cluster" >}}primary clusters{{< /gloss >}}, a primary and {{< gloss >}}remote cluster{{< /gloss >}}

{{< tip >}} For meshes that span more than two clusters, you can extend the steps in this guide to configure more complex topologies.

See deployment models for more information. {{< /tip >}}
