### Objective

This exercise will show you the steps to set up and use [KubeFed](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubefed) that allows you to coordinate the configuration of multiple Kubernetes clusters from a single set of APIs in a cluster and can be used in a multi-region scenario.

**By the end of this exercise, you will be able to:**

- Configure KubeFed to coordinate the configuration of multiple Kubernetes clusters
- Deploy an application that will be created on two Kubernetes clusters in target regions
- Use Amazon Route 53 to configure DNS resolution with healthcheck for both regions

**Estimated Duration:** 1 hour

**Approximate Cost**: 10 USD

### Conclusion

With this exercise, it was possible to understand how you can federate multiple clusters into a single cluster to use a single Deployment and Service manifest to replicate a POD across multiple regions.
