Description
Get ready to witness the true power of Gloo Platform's multi-cluster, multi-cloud capabilities. In this example, we'll demonstrate how Gloo Platform seamlessly operates in a diverse environment consisting of an AWS management cluster, a Gloo workload cluster in AWS, and another workload cluster in GCP. By leveraging this setup, we'll deploy a Gloo Platform Portal in AWS, along with API products in both AWS and GCP, showcasing how Gloo Platform can unify these different API products from different clusters into a single, cohesive development portal.
As we dive into the demonstration, let's explore the Gloo Platform Dashboard, where we can witness the presence of two clusters within our environment. Cluster one represents an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster, while cluster two corresponds to a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster running in Google Cloud. Additionally, we've deployed a developer portal in cluster one, our AWS environment.
When we navigate to the Developer Portal UI, the gateway to our portal, we discover the availability of two remarkable API products: the Catstronauts REST API and the Petstore REST API. By exploring the portal, we can examine the open API specifications of both API products, utilizing either the Redoc or Swagger view. This gives us a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and functionalities provided by each API.
Now, returning to the Gloo Platform Dashboard, we shift our focus to the APIs section. Here, we observe that the Catstronauts REST API is deployed in cluster one, our AWS environment. On the other hand, the Petstore REST API API product is deployed in cluster two, residing within the Google Cloud ecosystem.
What makes this demonstration truly remarkable is that, despite the deployment of our API products across multiple clusters and clouds, Gloo Platform Portal's multi-cluster and multi-cloud design allows us to utilize a single development portal as a unified window for managing all our API products across various environments.
Prepare to be amazed by Gloo Platform's exceptional capabilities in a multi-cluster, multi-cloud environment. Stay tuned for more demonstrations and powerful features.
