Multi-Cluster Ops in a Hybrid World
summary
Uses Kubernetes Federation plus two new components to auto-provision clusters on demand: Navarchus (controller that reads federated desired state and decides needed clusters) and a cluster manager (wrapper that talks to Oracle Kubernetes Engine and AWS APIs). Demo creates three clusters, distributes ~50 replicas ~evenly (~17 each), then scales 20→40 to burst to cloud and back, and terminates idle clusters. Open sourced on Oracle GitHub. Claims reduced cost, consistent cluster capabilities, and policy-driven multi-cloud governance via just-in-time clusters.
