Loft Labs unveils a plugin system and SDK for vcluster, enabling users to define custom synchronization logic and integrate with other cloud-native tools.

Loft Labs CEO Lukas Gentele and Developer Advocate Rich Burroughs joined Bret Fisher’s Docker and DevOps YouTube stream to discuss vCluster. The session featured an overview and live demo of vCluster, highlighting its capabilities in creating virtual Kubernetes clusters for improved multi-tenancy and development workflows.

We’re excited to announce that Loft v2 has shipped. v2 is a set of improvements that we think makes Loft even easier to use and more powerful.

Explore how virtual Kubernetes clusters (vClusters) enable high-velocity engineering by allowing developers to create and dispose of isolated environments swiftly. This approach addresses challenges in environment setup, configuration management, and dependency handling, facilitating secure, flexible, and cost-effective access to Kubernetes resources.

This blog dives into the complexities of multi-tenancy in Kubernetes, highlighting challenges like cost control, network isolation, and resource management. Discover how tools like vCluster and RBAC can help streamline operations, ensuring efficient and secure multi-tenant environments.

Traditional Kubernetes multi-tenancy methods, like namespace isolation, often fall short in providing the necessary security and flexibility. This article explores the limitations of both soft and hard multi-tenancy approaches and introduces virtual clusters as a robust alternative. Learn how virtual clusters enable complete tenant isolation, allowing for independent control planes, custom resource definitions, and tailored RBAC configurations, all within a shared Kubernetes infrastructure.

This article will look at the pros and cons of using namespaces and virtual clusters in Kubernetes.

Discover how to deploy a virtual Kubernetes cluster inside another virtual cluster using vcluster. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial and follow along.

In this post, you'll learn some of the biggest headaches typically experienced when dealing with CRDs in a multi-tenant Kubernetes environment as well as ways to minimize these issues.

In the ever-evolving Kubernetes ecosystem, it's tempting to adopt the latest tools and configurations. However, this article advocates for a "boring" approach—favoring simplicity over complexity. By minimizing add-ons and customizations, organizations can achieve easier management, better scalability, reduced security risks, and fewer human errors. Discover why a straightforward Kubernetes setup might be the key to a more stable and efficient infrastructure.

In this post, I will describe some ways to control and reduce your Kubernetes cost that can be applied for very different Kubernetes use cases, from development and CI/CD to production.
