Kcp: Towards 1,000,000 Clusters - Workspaced CRDs

Explore the innovative kcp project in this conference talk that challenges traditional Kubernetes concepts. Delve into the evolution from namespaces to workspaces, examining how this shift can revolutionize multi-tenancy and cluster isolation. Learn about the project's ambitious goal of scaling to 1,000,000 clusters through horizontal sharding and novel API service models. Discover how kcp disrupts conventional Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and reimagines API-Machinery and apiserver functionality. Compare kcp's approach to other projects like vcluster and OpenClusterManager, and understand its strategic vision of reducing cluster sizes to those of namespaces. Gain insights into APIExport and APIBindings, identity-based security, and the potential for innovation in the space between workspaces. This talk offers a deep dive into cutting-edge Kubernetes architecture and its implications for the future of cloud-native computing.
