When Kuma is being deployed in multi-zone mode and a service from one zone wants to consume a service from another zone, does that mean that the outbound request will automatically be routed to the correct address of the service (potentially in a different zone) while still honoring any custom "TrafficRoute" policies that the mesh administrators may have created in the meanwhile?

  Yes. In Kuma the “.mesh” DNS zone will route to either an IP address of a replica of the service in the same zone, or to the IP address of a Kuma ingress in another zone for automatic cross-zone connectivity (only if mTLS is enabled so we can leverage SNI). Any TrafficRoute will be honored, and we can also apply zone-shifting rules by using the “kuma.io/zone“ tag in a “TrafficRoute” [1] policy. [1] - https://kuma.io/policies https://kuma.io/policies

  If I understand correctly, yes, this shouldn't be a problem for it to resolve. Check out here for more info > https://kuma.io/docs/0.7.1/documentation/deployments/#multi-zone-mode https://kuma.io/docs/0.7.1/documentation/deployments/#multi-...

Does Kuma also support VMs in addition to Kubernetes on both DP and CP?

  Yep, Kuma supports both Kubernetes with native CRDs and auto-injection, as well as VMs with sidecar data plane proxies. You can configure it via a REST API or the CLI. In multi-zone it's also possible to mix and match them in a hybrid service mesh.

How much RAM is needed for Kuma? Interesting project, I have been working with a Swarm + Traefik scenario maybe I will switch to this :).

  Not much, the project is very efficient but if you have questions you can always reach out to the official Slack channel: https://kuma.io/community https://kuma.io/community
