Multi-cluster Configuration Management for Edge, Multi-Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud

                               

KubeStellar treats multiple Kubernetes clusters as one

• Centrally deploy Kubernetes resources across multiple clusters
• Use standard deployment tools (kubectl, helm, ArgoCD, Flux) no bundling required
• Discover objects created on edge clusters
• Make disconnected cluster operation possible
• Designed for scalability with 1:many and many:1 scenarios
• Modular design to ensure compatibility with cloud-native tools

KubeStellar virtual clusters (Spaces) are our secret

• KubeStellar uses lightweight virtual clusters (Spaces) that run inside the KubeStellar hosting cluster
• Standard Kubernetes clusters have 2-300 api-resources, KubeStellar Spaces have only 40
• Fewer api-resources mean resources remain denatured – they do not expand into other resources like replicasets, pods, etc.
• Denaturing is the key to accepting native, unbundled Kubernetes resources as input
• Unbundled resources are the preferred output of most CNCF tools making KubeStellar use and integration easy

Roadmap for the Project

We have defined and largely completed the PoC2023q1. The current activity is refining the definition of, and producing, the PoC2023q4. Goals not addressed in that PoC are to be explored later.
