 <!-- overview -->
 
-The Konnectivity service facilitates secure 
-communication between the control plane and the cluster nodes. It operates 
-as a TCP level proxy, ensuring that control plane traffic is efficiently 
-and securely transmitted to the nodes within the cluster. By managing the 
-communication layer, Konnectivity plays a vital role in maintaining the 
-integrity and reliability of the Kubernetes environment.

+Kubernetes can use an optional proxy mechanism, _Konnectivity_, that helps you connect 
+your control plane's {{< glossary_tooltip text="API servers" term_id="kube-apiserver" >}} 
+to your nodes, to {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="etcd" >}}, or to aggregated API servers.  
+
+The proxy operates at a stream layer, independent of packets and network routes.  
+You can use Konnectivity to deploy a cluster where there is no direct route between the  
+node network and the subnet(s) where you have deployed your control plane hosts.
