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)

  • Even more OpenTelemetry - Kubernetes special
    8 projects | dev.to | 10 Apr 2025
    I was a victim of the IT crisis last summer, and my company fired me, so I no longer work on Apache APISIX. They say that the Chinese ideogram for crisis contains the ideogram for opportunity. I used this opportunity to join LoftLabs. LoftLabs offers a cluster virtualization solution called vCluster.
  • One giant Kubernetes cluster for everything
    1 project | dev.to | 20 Mar 2025
    vCluster is an Open Source product that allows creating of so-called virtual clusters. vCluster is part of the CNCF landscape, specifically a certified Kubernetes distribution. Being a certified distro means a virtual cluster offers every Kubernetes API you can expect, and you can deploy any application to it just like any other Kubernetes cluster.
  • WebAssembly on Kubernetes
    13 projects | dev.to | 6 Mar 2025
    To compare the approaches and test our work, we can use the minikube ingress addon and vCluster. The former offers a single access point for all three workloads, native, embed, and runtime, while vCluster isolates workloads from each other in their virtual cluster.

    For the second item, you can only achieve complete isolation with different clusters, which defeats the purpose. The alternative is vCluster: in the next post, I'll detail how you can leverage it in your GitHub workflow.
  • How to Assign vCluster to Specific Nodes Using Node Selectors

  • Effortless vCluster Management with Sveltos: An Event-Driven Approach
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 Jan 2025
    In the realm of Kubernetes, vClusters have become a popular solution for creating isolated environments within a larger host cluster. Managing these virtual clusters effectively, however, can be a challenge. This is where Sveltos, an open-source event-driven framework, shines. By leveraging Sveltos' event framework and Helm, we can automate the entire lifecycle of vClusters, from provisioning to deprovisioning and even Day 2 operations.
  • A solution to the problem of cluster-wide CRDs
    1 project | dev.to | 19 Dec 2024
    The ideal situation, as the initial quote of this post states, would be to have namespace-scoped CRDs. Unfortunately, it's not the path that Kubernetes chose. The next best thing would be to add a virtual cluster on top of the real one to partition it: that's the promise of vCluster.
  • Clusters Are Cattle Until You Deploy Ingress
    16 projects | dev.to | 30 May 2024
    Tools like Crossplane, vCluster (for managing multiple clusters), or Cluster API (for provisioning additional clusters) can extend this approach to handle various infrastructure resources beyond Kubernetes. Essentially, Git serves as the single source of truth for your entire infrastructure, with Argo CD functioning as the engine to enforce that truth.

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