Exploring multitenancy with vCluster and Argo CD
In the previous section, we explored how multitenancy is implemented natively with Argo CD, along with its current limitations at the time of writing. While these limitations may be addressed in the future, there’s no certainty.
In this section, we’ll expand the multitenancy approach by introducing a tool called vCluster. This tool addresses most of the limitations discussed earlier by enabling scaling through GitOps in a declarative manner, facilitated by Argo CD. This method shifts from a Namespaces-as-a-Service model to a more comprehensive Virtual-Kubernetes-as-a-Service (VKaaS) or Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) approach.
vCluster, an open source solution for creating and managing virtual Kubernetes clusters, presents a novel approach to Kubernetes cluster management. It functions by establishing a host cluster, on top of which vClusters – akin to seed clusters – operate within namespaces. This setup...
