Significant "Day Two" challenges can be presented with the complex software that is called "kueper".

There is a large knowledge gap when it comes to maintaining andOptimizing Kubernetes clusters.

Several ways to address problems will be shared in this piece.

Optimize your Kubernetes cluster for cost

The need for applications and engineers to access clusters is on the rise. It's not feasible or cost-effective to always use entire physical clusters to reach this goal.

Virtual clusters can be used to cut costs. In a scenario of 100 developers, we used open source virtual clusters to calculate up to 78% savings.

Virtual clusters with open source software can be used to run multiple virtual clusters in a single physical cluster. Organizations can save money on computing costs by using this more communal method.

Increase tenant isolation

By leveraging policy engines, it’s possible to implement software security guardrails on your cloud-native Kubernetes infrastructure.

Virtual clusters have the advantage of being isolated from other users. Each user has their own workspace that looks and feels similar to a physical Kubernetes cluster.

Virtual clusters allow for a more strict form of multitenancy. One of the biggest concerns with multitenancy is that it can't contain resources that are scoped. Many applications need to access and create cluster-scoped resources.

Increasing the isolation in multitenancy clusters through virtual clusters provides security benefits.

  • Full control-plane isolation.
  • Domain Name System (DNS) isolation.
  • Resources created on a single namespace.

Virtual clusters are an option for organizations that want to provide greater isolation for resources shared among their clusters. They are simpler to deploy and manage than a physical cluster.
