Clusternet is a CNCF Sandbox open-source add-on for managing large fleets of Kubernetes clusters across public, private, hybrid, and edge environments from a single hosting cluster. It provides Kubernetes-native APIs, network tunnels for reaching clusters behind firewalls or VPCs, multi-cluster application deployment (Helm charts and Kubernetes resources), and a kubectl plugin.
Use cases
- manage thousands of kubernetes clusters from one control plane
- deploy helm charts to multiple clusters at once
- access edge or private clusters behind a firewall
- unify multicloud and hybrid cloud cluster management
- register and discover clusters automatically
- visit managed clusters with kubeconfig and rbac
- orchestrate applications across multi-cluster environments
When to choose
- you run many Kubernetes clusters across clouds, on-prem, or edge
- you want Kubernetes-native APIs and kubectl-style workflows for fleet management
- you need multi-cluster application deployment with per-cluster configuration overrides
- you want an out-of-the-box add-on rather than a full platform replacement
When to avoid
- you manage only one or two clusters and plain kubectl suffices
- you need a full commercial multi-cluster platform with advanced policy and cost features
- your clusters run older than Kubernetes v1.17
- you need non-Linux control-plane hosts
