Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving a tunnel request at a service cluster from a client at a remote cluster. The received tunnel request includes metadata associated with the client at the remote cluster. The computer-implemented method further includes using the metadata to establish a surrogate pod at the service cluster that replicates the client at the remote cluster. A tunnel identifier corresponding to the established surrogate pod is returned to the remote cluster. Moreover, in response to receiving a service request that includes the tunnel identifier, the service request is directed to the surrogate pod.
