Powered by vcluster
Our Certified Kubernetes Distribution
For Virtual Kubernetes Clusters

vcluster is the first Kubernetes distribution for creating virtual Kubernetes clusters that can be spun up in isolated namespaces and without admin privileges to the underlying Kubernetes cluster.

90% Faster Than Spinning Up A “Real” Cluster

Powerful UI For Managing Virtual Clusters

Sleep Mode & Auto-Delete

Loft's advanced inactivity detection monitors when engineers are not working with their namespaces and virtual clusters, so you can define rules for automatically putting pre-production environments to sleep or even configure Loft to automatically delete them after a certain period of inactivity.
