The new 8 onboarding flow uses a simpler configuration which allows services across 9 the mesh to be accessed via `*.cluster.local`. There were several 10 limitations with `.global`, such as poor load balancing when using 11 gateways, which are no longer an issue with the new configuration. 12 13 upgradeNotes: 14 - title: Multicluster `.global` Stub Domain Deprecation 15 content: | 16 As part of this release, Istio has switched to a new configuration for 17 multi-primary (formerly "replicated control planes"). The new 18 configuration is simpler, has fewer limitations, and has been thoroughly 19 tested in a variety of environments. As a result, the `.global` stub 20 domain is now deprecated and no longer guaranteed to work going forward.
