Creating a Unified Endpoint using Local Endpoints

Create unified endpoints to create a common interface to an LLM and back it up with multiple endpoints from multiple clusters. A unified endpoint gives you a single API address that connects to one or more inference services even if they run in different clusters so your applications can access multiple models through one simple interface.
