Kubernetes Gets Back to Scaling with Virtual Clusters
Manage episode 414549340 series 75006
A virtual cluster, described by Loft Labs CEO Lukas Gentele at Kubecon+ CloudNativeCon Paris, is a Kubernetes control plane running inside a container within another Kubernetes cluster. In this New Stack Makers episode, Gentele explained that this approach eliminates the need for numerous separate control planes, allowing VMs to run in lightweight, quickly deployable containers. Loft Labs' open-sourced vcluster technology enables virtual clusters to spin up in about six seconds, significantly faster than traditional Kubernetes clusters that can take over 30 minutes to start in services like Amazon EKS or Google GKE.
The integration of vCluster into Rancher at KubeCon Paris enables users to manage virtual clusters alongside real clusters seamlessly. This innovation addresses challenges faced by companies managing multiple applications and clusters, advocating for a multi-tenant cluster approach for improved sharing and security, contrary to the trend of isolated single-tenant clusters that emerged due to complexities in cluster sharing within Kubernetes.
