Скачать или смотреть Unlocking the Power of Virtual Clusters in Kubernetes - Rossella Sblendido

As organizations scale, the need for flexible and on-demand Kubernetes environments is greater than ever. Virtual clusters make it possible to spin up isolated, ready-to-use Kubernetes instances in seconds—without the heavy overhead of traditional approaches.

In this talk, we’ll break down what virtual clusters are, why they’re becoming essential for platform engineering, and how they help teams balance speed, security, and efficiency. We’ll also take a deep dive into k3k, an open-source implementation of virtual clusters and explore a few concrete use cases.

Whether you’re focused on empowering developers, optimizing infrastructure costs, or simplifying operations, virtual clusters open up new possibilities for modern platforms.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the benefits, trade-offs, and practical use cases for adopting virtual clusters in your own Kubernetes strategy.
