Creating and Managing Multi-Tenant Cluster Solutions Using Self-Service

Explore multi-tenancy in Kubernetes and learn how to create and manage multi-tenant cluster solutions using self-service in this 47-minute Linux Foundation webinar. Discover different methods and tools for building and managing multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, including examples of self-service solutions that delegate tasks from DevOps to other stakeholders. Gain insights into how Velocity created a freemium product offering using a multi-tenant cluster and Capsule for self-serve management. Delve into topics such as internal cluster sharing, isolated environments, multi-tenant applications, and sharing clusters with customers or third parties. Examine considerations for soft vs. hard multi-tenancy, namespace isolation techniques, virtual clusters, and the differences between Capsule and vcluster. Learn about tenant CRDs, self-serve tenants with Helm charts, and receive valuable tips for implementing multi-tenant solutions in Kubernetes environments.
