Use case

Create A Production-Grade Multi-Tenant Kubernetes Platform with Virtual Clusters

Loft provides everything you need to build a multi-tenant platform

1

Switch From Real Clusters To Virtual Clusters To Achieve Multi-Tenancy For Your Kubernetes Platform

Virtual clusters provide a strong isolation for tenants on top of a shared Kubernetes cluster.

<10 Seconds Startup Time because a virtual cluster is essentially just a container.

Isolated Control Plane for every virtual cluster to enable secure multi-tenancy.

Shared Platform Stack for all virtual clusters (monitoring, logging, security tools, etc.).

Certified Kubernetes Distro ensures that it works just like any Kubernetes cluster.

As Isolated As A Real Cluster But As Cheap As A Namespace

Virtual Clusters are as strongly isolated as separate clusters but they are as lightweight and cheap to operate and as fast to create as Kubernetes namespaces.

Why Virtual Clusters Are 40% Cheaper Than Spinning Up “Real” Clusters

Virtual clusters run on top of the same Kubernetes cluster, so they can share the same platform stack.
