vcluster VS arkade

Kubernetes? You mean the container orchestration system where they forgot to add Multi-tenancy? And no namespaces are not Multi-tenancy...

https://www.vcluster.com/

Whats the difference between this and vcluster (https://github.com/loft-sh/vcluster)?

Yep, as we see it they compliment each other quite well. DevPod takes your workspace to the cloud and DevSpace let's you develop against your Kubernetes cluster - potentially the same one you used to start your workspace.

Internally we use both in our development setup, spinning up remote workspaces using DevPod, installing DevSpace and kind into the devcontainer, then using DevSpace to develop against the cluster. See the vcluster setup[1] as an example

The tenants are internal dev teams so yeah maybe not. I was considering multi-tenanting different environments isolated at the kube layer with vCluster and have the vCluster pods running in Kata containers giving maximum isolation but still having a single management cluster. Ideally also avoiding the need to buy a second set of hardware for a dev environment

Vcluster

Looks interesting. How does this solution compare to vcluster?

sounds like the best option for you , is a tool called VCluster by loft ( https://www.vcluster.com/) , this way you can install as many k8s cluster as you want in the same k8s host cluster , those cluster share workers nodes and networking, but each has a separated "api server" , so it looks like you have a dedicated cluster with their own namespaces and tools . take a look at the docs to get a better understanding and how they work.

We're about to run a PoC with vcluster for isolated sandboxes, this might be relevant to you too

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)

Depends on the use case. Namespaces provides soft isolation (so it means they share same Apiserver, PV's and global resources such as CRD's), but can be restricted with network policies. So it means, there's still potential in breaking other namespaces if you change PV's or CRD's which are used by other namespaces. Multi-Cluster solution can provide full isolation, but its also really expensive in resource consumption and maintenance/management effort. If namespaced-isolation isnt enough for your use case, you can consider vclusters (https://www.vcluster.com/)

If you omit sudo, then you can move the binary yourself.

And of course, there's nothing stopping you visiting the releases page - or installing my tap and getting it from Brew!

I strongly discourage actually using such a tool in a professional setting for a host of reasons but that is exactly what https://github.com/alexellis/arkade appears to be going for.

If you've not yet heard of or used arkade - check it out on GitHub https://github.com/alexellis/arkade/

For the CNCF landscape of tooling there's Arkade, which would at least cover you on the k9s front. [1]

I built a feature in arkade [1] to pull in binaries for CLIs for infrastructure and developer tooling that I wanted to use - it now has 72 CLIs that you can pull down with a single command and most importantly, as near to instantly as you're going to get.

For instance: arkade get [email protected] yq helm faas-cli

It's not got anywhere near the catalog of brew, and doesn't compile software, or help you find lib-xyz for your Yubikey, but it is really fast and has a growing community behind it.

It works on MacOS, Linux, Windows and arm hosts to determine the correct download URL and pull in a binary.
