Yes it is and yes, it does.
Kubernetes has a fairly soft tenancy model, so in practice, multi-cluster is becoming a big deal, despite the cost in utilisation efficiency.
Various attempts are being made to recover the utilisation efficiencies, such as Virtual Kubelet or Project Pacific. I think that the original sin of Kubernetes was the lack of a firm, first-class, top-down, mandatory access control model of tenancy.
Disclosure: I work for VMware, which is responsible for Project Pacific.
- alexk 7y agoIf you think of an application as composed of hundreds of micro services, than it makes perfect sense. It's a multi-tenant system, it's just each tenant is a part of the same app.
