This is unusual because it is a read-only project. It doesn’t offer to help with managing the clusters or deploying workloads. It is focused on observing your clusters.

One of the most interesting aspects of the architecture is the Clusterpedia aggregated API server, which makes all your clusters seem like a single huge logical cluster. Note that the Clusterpedia API server and the ClusterSynchro manager...
