I wouldn't say any kind of platform, but it is a great foundation for many platforms. > it suddenly turns into a no, not like that Not at all. Read my post and the OP again! Several valid solutions have been offered, some that work out of the box, some that require a little tinkering. If you want to do a traditional VM deployment you'd segment your workloads per hosts and put some hosts in the VPN. Sure. Cool. You can do exactly the same with kubernetes with node pools. Only when you want to have some workloads that have access and some that don't running on the same host machine you might need to do some tinkering. Just like you'd have to do otherwise. Kubernetes really changes nothing, other than giving you ways to deal with it. Of course there's plenty of ready built solutions for this you can just plug in, too. Search for Service Mesh.
