What is vcluster? vcluster is an open source tool for creating and managing virtual Kubernetes clusters. A virtual cluster lives inside a namespace on a host cluster, but it appears to the user as if it’s a full-blown, standalone Kubernetes cluster.

Kubernetes is wonderful but complex software that can present significant ‘Day 2’ challenges when put into production. Developers who are new to Kubernetes (and most are) face a large knowledge gap about how to sustain and optimize Kubernetes clusters.

When it came time to host software for a large public audience Codefresh turned to vCluster to provide the security and scalability needed. Codefresh is a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CD/CD) platform that allows organizations to deploy Kubernetes applications by following the GitOps principles and fulfill all the enterprise requirements such as scalability, security and ease of use.

2022 was a very exciting year for vcluster. If you’re unfamiliar with vcluster, it’s an open source tool for creating and managing virtual Kubernetes clusters. Virtual clusters are lightweight and run in a namespace of an underlying host cluster but appear to the users as if they’re full-blown clusters.

What an exciting time we had at Detroit! As we are a completely remote team, KubeCon is one of the rare opportunities when we can get the whole team together.

Loft Labs is excited to welcome Kubecon North America 2022 keynote speaker Mauricio “Salaboy” Salatino for an exclusive interview where we dive into the struggles facing platform engineers with the CNCF ecosystem.

Managing virtual clusters, spaces, and apps just got easier, as you can now version control your templates and apps by assigning them semantic version numbers (e.

Loft V3.0 comes with a new construct to group your virtual cluster and spaces across several clusters into “projects”, giving platform teams an easier way to manage and organize their team’s resources.

Now, virtual clusters can be directly used as deployment targets in Argo SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Loft Labs, provider of developer tooling and multi-tenancy solutions for Kubernetes, today announced an integration with the popular open source tool Argo CD (continuous delivery) to automate the deployment of services to virtual Kubernetes clusters.

Tl;DR: For a 5-minute video demo of the new vcluster extension for Docker Desktop, scroll to the bottom of this post. Developing applications designed to run on Kubernetes can be a pain, especially if you switch between multiple applications that depend on different existing services.

At Solo.io, we listen to the community and try out the best technologies to help teams meet their goals. This includes both working on open source projects, as well as providing support and products that can help you better leverage technologies.

I did an introductory talk for PlatformCON about virtual Kubernetes clusters and the open source tool vcluster. vcluster allows you to create and manage virtual clusters, which are basically a control plane inside of a namespace on a shared host cluster.
