Loft Labs’ vcluster Provides Secure Virtual Multitenant Kubernetes ClustersCategory: Kubernetes
This week, Loft Labs’ vcluster became a certified Kubernetes distribution making it “the first virtual cluster solution that passes 100% of Kubernetes conformance tests.” Vcluster allows engineers to spin up lightweight, virtual Kubernetes clusters that run inside the namespaces of an underlying Kubernetes cluster.
If you have a managed product, and you want to host different customers in different vclusters, you want to be sure that that cluster is a conformant Kubernetes cluster, not just because that gives you some kind of benchmark, it also makes sure that you can seamlessly transition workloads between vclusters and real clusters.
It is still early days for vcluster, which is just v0.3, and Gentele said that the project is looking to remain as flexible as possible.
I strongly believe that vcluster is such a fundamental piece of Kubernetes multitenancy and solves so many problems that go even beyond that use case that it needs to be part of CNCF.
