This fork is largely for collection of backlog items for the KCP specific work items in the ApeiroRA Platform Mesh. Issues will be collected and worked on so that they can be pusehd upstream into KCP Community.
kcp is a Kubernetes-like control plane focusing on:
- A control plane for many independent, isolated “clusters” known as workspaces
- Enabling API service providers to offer APIs centrally using multi-tenant operators
- Easy API consumption for users in their workspaces
kcp can be a building block for SaaS service providers who need a massively multi-tenant platform to 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.
NB: In May 2023, the kcp project was restructured and components related to workload scheduling (e.g. the syncer) and the transparent multi cluster (tmc) code were removed due to lack of interest/maintainers. Please refer to the main-pre-tmc-removal branch if you are interested in the related code.
