Single vs Multiple Kubernetes Clusters: Building the right Platform

Now that you support more users on your Kubernetes Platform, how do you scale cost-effectively? Should you use a single cluster and split it up, or create multiple clusters for different use cases?

• Single Cluster: Use a multi-cluster platform within a single cluster for cost optimization and easier management.
• Multiple Clusters: Assign dev/test/preview environments to separate clusters for regional control and minimal platform management.
• Production vCluster: Use vClusters in production for scalability and isolation across single or multi-cluster setups.
• Overall: Decide on single vs. multiple clusters, manage regional control, ensure scalability, and optimize for cost and management.
