mck8s: A Container Orchestration Platform for Geo-distributed Multi-cluster Environments

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

mck8s is a multi-cluster Kubernetes orchestration platform that implements four controllers — a multi-cluster scheduler, a horizontal pod autoscaler, a multi-cluster rescheduler and a cloud cluster provisioner — and integrates Kubernetes Federation, Cluster API, Prometheus, Cilium and surf. It runs across a management cluster plus five regional workloads and an OpenStack cloud; demos show offloading and bursting of replicas (5 → 10 → 15 triggers automated cloud1 provisioning) and placement via best-fit, worst-fit and traffic-aware policies, with automated node scaling and cross-cluster routing working end to end.
