    I suggest examining liqo which allows you to peer clusters with each other. Might be what you're looking for: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2021/04/12/simplifying-multi-clusters-in-kubernetes/

    root@k8gb:~# liqoctl liqoctl is a CLI tool to install and manage Liqo. Liqo is a platform to enable dynamic and decentralized resource sharing across Kubernetes clusters, either on-prem or managed. Liqo allows to run pods on a remote cluster seamlessly and without any modification of Kubernetes and the applications. With Liqo it is possible to extend the control and data plane of a Kubernetes cluster across the cluster's boundaries, making multi-cluster native and transparent: collapse an entire remote cluster to a local virtual node, enabling workloads offloading, resource management and cross-cluster communication compliant with the standard Kubernetes approach. Usage: liqoctl [command] Available Commands: completion Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell generate Generate data/commands to perform additional operations help Help about any command install Install/upgrade Liqo in the selected cluster move Move an object to a different cluster offload Offload a resource to remote clusters peer Enable a peering towards a remote cluster status Show the status of Liqo uninstall Uninstall Liqo from the selected cluster unoffload Unoffload a resource from remote clusters unpeer Disable a peering towards a remote cluster version Print the liqo CLI version and the deployed Liqo version Flags: --cluster string The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use --context string The name of the kubeconfig context to use -h, --help help for liqoctl --kubeconfig string Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests --user string The name of the kubeconfig user to use -v, --verbose Enable verbose logs (default false) Use "liqoctl [command] --help" for more information about a command. root@k8gb:~# git clone https://github.com/liqotech/liqo Cloning into 'liqo'... remote: Enumerating objects: 28194, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (261/261), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (170/170), done. remote: Total 28194 (delta 132), reused 173 (delta 81), pack-reused 27933 Receiving objects: 100% (28194/28194), 34.98 MiB | 23.34 MiB/s, done.

    To be honest, you might have a better chance at creating a multi-cluster setup, with a solution like Liqo (https://liqo.io/). I never used this, but it's supposed to join multiple clusters in a way that you can control all of them from one primary master.

  • Do you have a personal Kubernetes cluster?
    9 projects | /r/kubernetes | 8 Mar 2021
    I personally have a single-node cluster on an x86 mini-server using K3s. When I have to run more heavy workloads, I use Liqo (https://github.com/liqotech/liqo) to add a virtual node from a temporary remote cluster, spawned on AKS or GKE. It supports transparently multi-cluster services, so it is pretty transparent.
