In this article, I will describe the benefits of virtual Kubernetes clusters and provide some use cases in which vClusters are advantageous to other solutions such as many individual clusters or namespace-based multi-tenancy.

Virtual Kubernetes Clusters (vClusters) have the potential to bring Kubernetes adoption to the next level. They are running in a physical Kubernetes cluster and can be used in the same way as normal clusters, but still are just a virtual construct. (Learn more about how virtual Clusters work here). Similar to Virtual Machines that revolutionized the use of physical servers, virtual Kubernetes clusters have some benefits compared to physical clusters, which make them particularly useful for some scenarios.

Benefits of Virtual Kubernetes Clusters

The benefits of virtual clusters for Kubernetes are mainly based on two characteristics: Sharing of a physical cluster and isolation.
