About:
vcluster creates lightweight, isolated virtual Kubernetes clusters that run on top of host namespaces. It enables developers to provision self-contained clusters with full API access without requiring cluster-admin privileges. This tool significantly reduces the overhead of managing full cluster instances while maintaining multi-tenancy and resource efficiency.
|
Key Features:
- Lightweight virtual clusters with minimal resource overhead
- Full Kubernetes API compatibility for seamless integration
- Namespace isolation for secure multi-tenancy
- Synchronization of workloads and namespaces between virtual and host clusters
- Support for any conformant Kubernetes distribution
|
Use Cases:
- Developer environments with full cluster access without admin privileges
- CI/CD pipelines requiring ephemeral Kubernetes clusters
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms providing isolated clusters per customer
- Testing and development without spinning up full clusters
|
Alternatives:
-
kind
– kind creates local clusters, vcluster creates virtual clusters on existing infrastructure
-
k3d
– k3d runs k3d clusters locally, vcluster runs on top of existing k8s clusters
-
minikube
– minikube is for local development, vcluster is for multi-tenant environments
