Red Hat® Connectivity Link is a Kubernetes-native solution that helps you manage your applications to connect and communicate across different cloud environments.
What is Red Hat Connectivity Link?As businesses embrace multicloud strategies, they are faced with the growing complexity of managing application connectivity across diverse environments. The fragmented solutions many organizations rely on today are inefficient and lack scalability, making it increasingly difficult to keep up with innovation and evolving market demands. Red Hat® Connectivity Link is a Kubernetes-native solution that helps you manage your applications to connect and communicate across different cloud environments. As a connectivity management tool, Connectivity Link is designed to simplify and enhance application connectivity, application management, and security across multicloud and multicluster environments.
With Red Hat Connectivity Link, customers can simplify complex multicloud environments. As organizations increasingly adopt multicloud strategies, the complexity of managing application connectivity across these environments is growing. Connectivity Link provides automated, consistent connectivity management, which is essential for maintaining agility and reducing operational overhead.

How is Red Hat Connectivity Link different?Built on the foundation of the Kuadrant open source project, Connectivity Link uses Gateway API and Envoy proxy to provide a unified, efficient approach to managing incoming and outgoing network traffic.
Gateway API provides ingress traffic management across Kubernetes clusters, and Envoy is the default ingress gateway that simplifies deployment across clusters. Within the Envoy ingress gateway, a WebAssembly plugin (WASM) provides hardware-independent processing, allowing extensibility and compatibility across any environment where Envoy is deployed.
Integrated capabilitiesTo enhance the Kubernetes ecosystem, Connectivity Link provides integration capabilities to other Red Hat products such as Red Hat OpenShift® and OpenShift Service Mesh. Red Hat Connectivity Link focuses on simplified multicluster application connectivity and integrated advanced traffic management and policy enforcement directly into Kubernetes and OpenShift environments. When integrated with Connectivity Link, OpenShift Service Mesh manages traffic routing and security using Envoy and Istio.

Multicluster gateway supportWith multicluster gateway support, platform engineers can manage cross-cluster connectivity and policies through a single interface. They can configure ingress gateways that can handle high traffic across multiple Kubernetes clusters.
Standardized ingress policy managementAs application developers design microservices, they need secure, reliable access from various external systems. With API policy management, they can cohesively enforce policies for authentication, rate limiting, and load distribution.
Data plane service protectionIf a company faces threats to their Kubernetes clusters landscapes, a data plane service protection policy can help enforce security policies at the data plane level that adapt to changing threat landscapes while ensuring compliance.
Location-based routingAs enterprises build distributed services, location-based routing helps them leverage advanced domain name system (DNS) strategies to direct traffic based on user location, ensure faster response times, and adhere to local regulations.
