API and Services have become essential part of todays cloud based deployments. But the architectures for these deployments has to solve two important problems, one the "platform" and another how to connect the "services". The platform piece of the puzzle is solved using platforms like [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) and Service Mesh like [Istio](https://istio.io) solves the service connectivity and more.

All is well when your services and API are just confined to one cloud. What should you do if your API and Services are spread across the clouds and private data centers i.e. multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments?

Well thats exactly what we are going to explore as part of this session using [Gloo Mesh](https://docs.solo.io/gloo-mesh/latest/) — Kubernetes native management plane — that allows you to connect services, API and meshes across heterogenous environments. As part of this demo filled session we will explore how to apply Microservice Architecture patterns like Distributed Tracing, Circuit Breakers, Request routing, Traffic splitting, network fault-injection etc., in a multi-cloud/hybrid-cloud scenarios.
