Managing and Running Multiple Kubernetes Clusters in Hybrid Setups

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

A hosted control plane runs for many tenants by deploying each cluster’s control plane as containers inside one management Kubernetes, providing per-cluster API ports on a single IP endpoint and an etcd operator with persistent snapshots; OpenStack, bare metal and public clouds are supported, Calico/Flannel and Helm are installable, and a demo boots a 3-node cluster in ~5 minutes. Early run hit an etcd crash when resource‑limited; rolling master upgrades work and node autoscaling and CI integration via a kube‑CI plugin are in progress.
