kiosk 🏢 Multi-Tenancy Extension For Kubernetes - Secure Cluster Sharing & Self-Service Namespace Provisioning (by kiosk-sh)
vcluster
vcluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces. (by loft-sh)

Checklist for Platform Engineers
Kubernetes was designed as a single-tenant platform. Sharing clusters, though, offers greater flexibility, simplifies infrastructure, and improves cost-efficiency. Therefore, it makes sense to use a multi-tenant system. To keep tenants separate and prevent compromised tenants from affecting others, you can use role-based access control (RBAC) or namespaces. Tools that assist with multi-tenancy in Kubernetes include kiosk and loft.

User management qustion
For simple environments I'm using klum, for bigger environments I'm using OIDC with Keycloak. Beside that kiosk also looks interesting.

Is it a good idea to use k8s namespace-based multitenancy for delivering managed service of an application?
We're about to run a PoC with vcluster for isolated sandboxes, this might be relevant to you too

Questions for Heroku-like Project
I think namespaces, RBAC and network policies are sufficient to partition users from the same organisation. I would investigate the use of vcluster ig you want to give your users even more isolation and capability (such as installing CRDs)
-
Multi cluster vs namespaces
Regarding dev environments, take a look at something like vcluster. You get the cost savings of a single cluster with a lot of the benefits of multiple clusters.

vcluster Exploded in 2022
I want to thank the vcluster maintainers, the contributors, and everyone who used vcluster in 2022. As I mentioned, many great ideas for improving the project come from folks in the community through GitHub issues, pull requests, or even feedback in our community Slack.

Create new pods/containers for each new user that signs up?
These are the people behind the open source vcluster project.
-
Open source KaaS
What would these clusters be used for? If it's just for dev and CI then check out vcluster. But it's probably not the best choice for some mission-critical workloads.

vcluster v0.13.0 - new release of an open-source project for creating virtual Kubernetes clusters
vcluster is an open-source project for creating a fully functioning certified Kubernetes cluster inside a Kubernetes namespace. That sounds like magic, I know! We have a nice visual explanation on the website if you are interested to know how it works - https://www.vcluster.com/
We don't usually do release announcements here, but this is the first release where I handled the release process, and it has some cool features included, so I am really excited to talk about it - vcluster v0.13.0 !!!
