Understanding multi-cluster management
In this section, we’ll delve into our experiences with two different approaches to managing multi-cluster environments within the GitOps framework. Our focus is not on the tools themselves, but rather on the overarching strategy of orchestrating and managing these clusters as though they were a singular platform. Through this exploration, we aim to impart a deeper understanding of these methodologies, emphasizing that the key lies in effective orchestration rather than a comparison of specific tools. We’ll discuss two distinct concepts:
- One cockpit to rule them all: This concept emphasizes centralized management and orchestration of multiple clusters as a unified platform
- One cockpit – diverse fleet management: This concept focuses on managing a diverse range of Argo CD clusters from a single control point while considering security aspects of inter-cluster communication
In terms of tool selection, our experience...
