Submariner enables direct networking between pods in different Kubernetes clusters on prem or in the cloud.
Submariner is a strong fit for organizations running multiple Kubernetes clusters across hybrid or multi-cloud environments who need seamless, secure pod-to-pod connectivity. Its standout feature is enabling direct, encrypted network communication between clusters without requiring complex VPN setups or manual routing, which is a big win for teams managing distributed workloads or planning for disaster recovery. However, Submariner does require a solid grasp of Kubernetes networking concepts and can be overkill for single-cluster or simple cloud-native deployments. It's open source, so the cost is low, but expect to invest in skilled DevOps resources for setup and ongoing management.
