    Kubernetes has a lot of limitations from a multi tenancy perspective.

    It's functional, but I think it's not as polished as the rest of Kubernetes which is why Kubernetes has a multi tenancy SIG that spawned the hierarchical namespace controller (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces) and virtual clusters (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-nest...)

  • Automatically deploy objects after namespace creation
    1 project | /r/kubernetes | 31 May 2023
    Kyverno's a great option. Depending on the usecase you might want to consider https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces as well (disclaimer: I'm the original author) - it's good if groups of related namespaces need related objects.

  • Is it anti-pattern to have multiple environments under a single namespace?
    3 projects | /r/kubernetes | 13 Apr 2022
    I would say it’s an anti-pattern since using a namespace for multiple environments will be a pain. Not sure what you mean by CRDs though. There is an addon that gives you namespace hierarchies. I.e. each team gets a namespace and they can have sub-namespaces for environments. Check it out: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces
  • Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?

    Looking into the Hierarchical Namespace Controller to see if it can simplify our heavily multi-tenanted clusters. So far so good!

What are some alternatives?

When comparing namespace-configuration-operator and hierarchical-namespaces you can also consider the following projects:

openshift-management - Set of maintenance scripts & cron jobs for OpenShift Container Platform

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.

patch-operator - An operator to apply patches to Kubernetes objects in a declarative way.

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

keepalived-operator - An operator to manage VIPs backed by keepalived

rbac-manager - A Kubernetes operator that simplifies the management of Role Bindings and Service Accounts.

dynamic-rbac-operator

cluster-api-provider-nested - Cluster API Provider for Nested Clusters

namespace-management

multi-tenancy - A working place for multi-tenancy related proposals and prototypes.

openshift-gitops-getting-started - https://www.openshift.com/learn/topics/gitops/

secrets-store-csi-driver - Secrets Store CSI driver for Kubernetes secrets - Integrates secrets stores with Kubernetes via a CSI volume.
