vCluster

A platform that creates and manages virtual Kubernetes clusters, enabling on-demand provisioning of lightweight, isolated clusters on top of any underlying infrastructure. It targets developers, IT, and operations teams in organizations of all sizes, from startups to enterprises, who need efficient multi-tenant Kubernetes environments. The platform is positioned as a virtualization layer for Kubernetes, similar to how hypervisors virtualize physical hardware, and is available as open-source software with enterprise support and cloud or self-hosted deployment options.
