of deployment models. For example, having more than one control plane is recommended for HA,
but you could achieve this for a 3 cluster deployment by deploying 2 clusters with
a single shared control plane and then adding the third cluster with a second
control plane in a different network. All three clusters could then be configured
to share both control planes so that all the clusters have 2 sources of control
to ensure HA.</p><p>Choosing the right deployment model depends on the isolation, performance,
and HA requirements for your use case. This guide describes the various options and
considerations when configuring your Istio deployment.</p><h2 id=cluster-models>Cluster models</h2><p>The workload instances of your application run in one or more

requirements, you likely need clusters across multiple zones and regions. You

Additionally, if a cluster has a problem, you can temporarily route traffic to
nearby clusters until you address the issue.</p><p>You can configure inter-cluster communication based on the

model is based on a first-class workload identity. At the beginning of

<p>Clients check the servers identity against their secure naming information to

<p>Servers check the client&amp;rsquo;s identity to determine what information the client can
access. Servers base that determination on the configured authorization

information was accessed by a specific client. They can also charge clients
based on the services they use and reject any clients that failed to pay their
bill from accessing the services.</p>
<p>The Istio identity model is flexible and granular enough to represent a human
user, an individual service, or a group of services. On platforms without
first-class service identity, Istio can use other identities that can group
service instances, such as service names.</p>

appropriate certificate representing its own identity, and the trust bundle
necessary to recognize all identities within the mesh and any federated meshes.

<span class=term data-title=Identity data-body="<p>Identity is a fundamental security infrastructure concept. The Istio identity
model is based on a first-class workload identity. At the beginning of
service-to-service communication, the two parties exchange credentials with
their identity information for mutual authentication purposes.</p>
<p>Clients check the servers identity against their secure naming information to
determine if the server is authorized to run the service.</p>
<p>Servers check the client&amp;rsquo;s identity to determine what information the client can
access. Servers base that determination on the configured authorization
policies.</p>
<p>Using identity, servers can audit the time information was accessed and what
information was accessed by a specific client. They can also charge clients
based on the services they use and reject any clients that failed to pay their
bill from accessing the services.</p>
<p>The Istio identity model is flexible and granular enough to represent a human
user, an individual service, or a group of services. On platforms without
first-class service identity, Istio can use other identities that can group
service instances, such as service names.</p>
<p>Istio supports the following service identities on different platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Kubernetes: Kubernetes service account</p></li>
<li><p>GKE/GCE: GCP service account</p></li>
<li><p>GCP: GCP service account</p></li>
<li><p>AWS: AWS IAM user/role account</p></li>
<li><p>On-premises (non-Kubernetes): user account, custom service account, service
name, Istio service account, or GCP service account. The custom service
account refers to the existing service account just like the identities that
the customers Identity Directory manages.</p></li>
</ul>">identity</span> and <strong>trust bundles</strong> between them. See the
section on <a href=#trust-between-meshes>Multiple Trust Domains</a> for an overview.</p><h2 id=tenancy-models>Tenancy models</h2><p>In Istio, a <strong>tenant</strong> is a group of users that share
common access and privileges to a set of deployed workloads. Generally, you
isolate the workload instances from multiple tenants from each other through
network configuration and policies.</p><p>You can configure tenancy models to satisfy the following organizational
requirements for isolation:</p><ul><li>Security</li><li>Policy</li><li>Capacity</li><li>Cost</li><li>Performance</li></ul><p>Istio supports two types of tenancy models:</p><ul><li><a href=#namespace-tenancy>Namespace tenancy</a></li><li><a href=#cluster-tenancy>Cluster tenancy</a></li></ul><h3 id=namespace-tenancy>Namespace tenancy</h3><p>Istio uses <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/glossary/?fundamental=true#term-namespace">namespaces</a>
as a unit of tenancy within a mesh. Istio also works in environments that don&rsquo;t
implement namespace tenancy. In environments that do, you can grant a team
permission to deploy their workloads only to a given namespace or set of
namespaces. By default, services from multiple tenant namespaces can communicate
with each other.</p><figure style=width:50%><div class=wrapper-with-intrinsic-ratio style=padding-bottom:75.78194040013328%><a data-skipendnotes=true href=/v1.7/docs/ops/deployment/deployment-models/iso-ns.svg title="Isolated namespaces"><img class=element-to-stretch src=/v1.7/docs/ops/deployment/deployment-models/iso-ns.svg alt="A service mesh with two isolated namespaces"></a></div><figcaption>A service mesh with two isolated namespaces</figcaption></figure><p>To improve isolation, you can selectively choose which services to expose to

endpoints for service discovery and load balancing.</p><figure style=width:50%><div class=wrapper-with-intrinsic-ratio style=padding-bottom:75.78194040013328%><a data-skipendnotes=true href=/v1.7/docs/ops/deployment/deployment-models/cluster-ns.svg title="Multicluster namespaces"><img class=element-to-stretch src=/v1.7/docs/ops/deployment/deployment-models/cluster-ns.svg alt="A service mesh with two clusters with the same namespace"></a></div><figcaption>A service mesh with clusters with the same namespace</figcaption></figure><h3 id=cluster-tenancy>Cluster tenancy</h3><p>Istio supports using clusters as a unit of tenancy. In this case, you can give
each team a dedicated cluster or set of clusters to deploy their
workloads. Permissions for a cluster are usually limited to the members of the
team that owns it. You can set various roles for finer grained control, for
example:</p><ul><li>Cluster administrator</li><li>Developer</li></ul><p>To use cluster tenancy with Istio, you configure each cluster as an independent
mesh. Alternatively, you can use Istio to implement a group of clusters as a
single tenant. Then, each team can own one or more clusters, but you configure
all their clusters as a single mesh. To connect the meshes of the various teams
together, you can federate the meshes into a multi-mesh deployment.</p><figure style=width:50%><div class=wrapper-with-intrinsic-ratio style=padding-bottom:76.17309435102204%><a data-skipendnotes=true href=/v1.7/docs/ops/deployment/deployment-models/cluster-iso.svg title="Cluster isolation"><img class=element-to-stretch src=/v1.7/docs/ops/deployment/deployment-models/cluster-iso.svg alt="Two isolated service meshes with two clusters and two namespaces"></a></div><figcaption>Two isolated service meshes with two clusters and two namespaces</figcaption></figure><p>Since a different team or organization operates each mesh, service naming
is rarely distinct. For example, the <code>mysvc</code> in the <code>foo</code> namespace of
<code>cluster-1</code> and the <code>mysvc</code> service in the <code>foo</code> namespace of
<code>cluster-2</code> do not refer to the same service. The most common example is the
scenario in Kubernetes where many teams deploy their workloads to the <code>default</code>
namespace.</p><p>When each team has their own mesh, cross-mesh communication follows the
