Flexible Kubernetes Multitenancy with vCluster

Piotr Zaniewski
Loft Labs

In this session, we'll explore how to implement flexible multitenancy in Kubernetes using vCluster. You'll learn how to design platforms that can adapt to different isolation requirements, resource sharing needs, and trust models within a single cluster.

We'll explore:

  • Multitenancy Spectrum
    Understanding the three dimensions of multitenancy:
  • Isolation levels: physical / logical / none
  • Resource sharing: dedicated / pooled / shared
  • Trust boundaries: zero / partial / full

  • Flexibility in Practice
    How to mix and match different multitenancy models for different teams and workloads.

  • vCluster Deep Dive
    How virtual clusters enable this flexibility while maintaining strong isolation boundaries.

  • Real-World Scenarios
    Live demo showing how to implement different multitenancy patterns based on actual use cases.

Key Takeaways

  • Understanding the multitenancy conceptual framework and its three core dimensions
  • Practical patterns for implementing flexible isolation strategies
  • How to choose the right multitenancy model for different team requirements
  • Hands-on experience with vCluster for creating adaptable multitenant environments

Why This Talk Matters

Most Kubernetes multitenancy discussions focus on a single approach — either namespace isolation or full cluster isolation. Real-world platforms need flexibility to accommodate different teams with varying security, resource, and trust requirements. This talk shows how to build platforms that can adapt to these diverse needs without compromising on security or operational efficiency.
