from every other cluster, ideally using L4 network load balancers (NLB).
Not all cloud providers support NLBs and some require special annotations to use them,
so please consult your cloud providers documentation for enabling NLBs for
service object type load balancers. When deploying on platforms without
NLB support, it may be necessary to modify the health checks for the load
balancer to register the ingress gateway.</p></li><li><p>A <strong>Root CA</strong>. Cross cluster communication requires mutual TLS connection
between services. To enable mutual TLS communication across clusters, each
cluster&rsquo;s Citadel will be configured with intermediate CA credentials
generated by a shared root CA. For illustration purposes, you use a
sample root CA certificate available in the Istio installation
