External Control Plane n/a

An external control plane is a control plane that externally manages mesh workloads running in their own clusters or other infrastructure. The control plane may, itself, be deployed in a cluster, although not in one of the clusters that is part of the mesh it's controlling. Its purpose is to cleanly separate the control plane from the data plane of a mesh.
