title: Primary Cluster
---
A primary cluster is a [cluster](/docs/reference/glossary/#cluster) with a
[control plane](/docs/reference/glossary/#control-plane). A single
[mesh](/docs/reference/glossary/#service-mesh) can have more than
one primary cluster for HA or to reduce latency. Primary clusters can act as the
control plane for [remote clusters](/docs/reference/glossary/#remote-cluster).

title: Remote Cluster
---
A remote cluster is a [cluster](/docs/reference/glossary/#cluster) that
connects to a [control plane](/docs/reference/glossary/#control-plane)
residing outside of the cluster. A remote cluster can connect to a control plane
running in a [primary cluster](/docs/reference/glossary/#primary-cluster)
or to a [managed control plane](/docs/reference/glossary/#managed-control-plane).
