 The examples described in this section demonstrate how to export a service named `backend`. You should change instances of `backend` in the example code to the name of the service you want to export.

+1. For the service in `cluster-02` that you want to export, add the `"consul.hashicorp.com/connect-inject": "true"` annotation to your service's pods prior to deploying. The annotation allows the workload to join the mesh. It is highlighted in the following example:
