kcp

kcp is a Kubernetes-like control plane focusing on:

A control planefor many independent, isolated“clusters” known as workspaces

Enabling API service providers to offer APIs centrallyusing multi-tenant operators

Easy API consumptionfor users in their workspaces

Flexible schedulingof workloads to physical clusters

Transparent movementof workloads among compatible physical clusters

Advanced deployment strategiesfor scenarios such as affinity/anti-affinity, geographic replication, cross-cloud replication, etc.

kcp can be a building block for SaaS service providers who need a massively multi-tenant platformto offer services to a large number of fully isolated tenants using Kubernetes-native APIs. The goal is to be useful to cloud providers as well as enterprise IT departments offering APIs within their company.
