Living with Kubernetes: Multicluster ManagementCategory: Kubernetes, Infrastructure, Hashicorp, automation, yaml
With the advent of containers, admins adapted to container sprawl with orchestration systems such as Kubernetes. Many environments have now reached the stage of Kubernetes cluster sprawl, meaning admins have to figure out the best way to manage and deploy to tens or hundreds of clusters.
You can view all your clusters and automate them via the provider’s API, but it’ll be up to you to attach metadata/tags or use cluster naming schemes to understand what they’re used for or who is responsible for them.
If you’re a GKE customer, you can do this through Workload Identity, and in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) you can use IAM roles for service accounts (IRSA).
Coordinating how many clusters you want to upgrade at once, and in what order, will be your responsibility.
