A services team runs Consul on both VMs and Kubernetes. They need services on Kubernetes to communicate with services running on VMs via the Consul service mesh. Which component facilitates service mesh traffic between Kubernetes and VM Consul deployments?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Mesh gateway. Mesh gateways are the Consul component that routes encrypted service mesh traffic between different Consul deployments, including between Kubernetes clusters and VM-based Consul datacenters. They handle TLS bridging and routing at the data plane level. Option a is wrong because ingress gateways handle external client traffic entering the mesh from outside.
