Namespaces must be labeled in each cluster following the
<a href=/v1.5/docs/setup/additional-setup/sidecar-injection/#automatic-sidecar-injection>automatic sidecar injection</a> guide</p><h3 id=access-services-from-different-clusters>Access services from different clusters</h3><p>Kubernetes resolves DNS on a cluster basis. Because the DNS resolution is tied
to the cluster, you must define the service object in every cluster where a
client runs, regardless of the location of the service&rsquo;s endpoints. To ensure
this is the case, duplicate the service object to every cluster using
<code>kubectl</code>. Duplication ensures Kubernetes can resolve the service name in any
cluster. Since the service objects are defined in a namespace, you must define
the namespace if it doesn&rsquo;t exist, and include it in the service definitions in
all clusters.</p><h3 id=security>Security</h3><p>The Istiod service in each cluster provides CA functionality to proxies in its own
cluster. The CA setup earlier ensures proxies across clusters in the mesh have the
same root of trust.</p><h2 id=uninstalling-the-remote-cluster>Uninstalling the remote cluster</h2><p>To uninstall the remote cluster, run the following command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl --context=${REMOTE_CLUSTER_CTX} x create-remote-secret --name ${REMOTE_CLUSTER_NAME} | \
