    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.

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

    You could use a container sandbox like gVisor, light virtual machines as containers (Kata containers, firecracker + containerd) or full virtual machines (virtlet as a CRI).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing kiosk and virtlet you can also consider the following projects:

capsule - Multi-tenancy and policy-based framework for Kubernetes.

kamaji - Kamaji is the Hosted Control Plane Manager for Kubernetes.

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.

gatekeeper-library - 📚 The OPA Gatekeeper policy library

loft - Namespace & Virtual Cluster Manager for Kubernetes - Lightweight Virtual Clusters, Self-Service Provisioning for Engineers and 70% Cost Savings with Sleep Mode

Openshift Origin - Conformance test suite for OpenShift

hypershift - Hyperscale OpenShift - clusters with hosted control planes

klum - Kubernetes Lazy User Manager

cluster-api - Home for Cluster API, a subproject of sig-cluster-lifecycle

sandbox-operator - A Kubernetes operator for creating isolated environments

policy - CoreDNS external plugin to provide in-process policies as well as external policy services
