Multi-Cluster Observability with Service Mesh - That Is a Lot of Moving Parts!?

This talk addresses the complexities of multi-cluster observability, particularly when using service meshes. While service meshes can simplify multi-cluster management, they can also introduce new challenges in observability. The presentation explores these challenges, focusing on metrics, tracing, and cardinality in distributed environments. It also provides a demo showcasing how Istio, Prometheus Operator, and Thanos can be used to achieve a multi-cluster observability setup, highlighting both successes and areas for improvement.
