Architecting Kubernetes clusters: one large shared or multiple small clusters?

When planning your infrastructure, one of the fundamental questions is: how many Kubernetes clusters should you have? One big cluster or multiple smaller clusters? Should the team share resources, or to each their own?

This workshop investigates the pros and cons of different approaches and compares cost efficiency, ease of management resilience and security for different setups.

In this session, you will learn:

• How Kubernetes design is intended for sharing resources and the consequence for isolation and security.

• How can you isolate your workloads with different security trade-offs depending on how trustworthy your tenants are?

• How to estimate costs and efforts in building a single shared cluster vs multiple clusters.

For a deeper dive, we invite you to explore our blog post, Comparing Multi-Tenancy Options in Kubernetes, where we expand on these concepts.
