Managing a Kubernetes Cluster Federation

Managing a Kubernetes Cluster Federation involves many activities above and beyond managing a single cluster. You need to consider cascading resource deletion, load balancing across clusters, failover across clusters, federated service discovery, and federated discovery. Let's go over the various activities in detail. Note that due to the Alpha status of KubeFed, this should not be considered a step-by-step guide to follow. The goal here is to get a sense of what's involved in the management of multiple Kubernetes clusters as a federation.

Installing kubefedctl

The best way to interact with KubeFed is through the kubefedctl CLI. Here are the instructions to install the latest release of kubefedctl for macOS:
