Running Kubernetes at scale, like EKS/AKS/GKE, on any infrastructure
github.comI'm the core maintainer of Kamaji, an Open-Source project which runs Kubernetes Control Planes as Pods in a management cluster.
This approach brings several benefits I tried to emphasize in the README file: the core idea is to take full advantage of the Operator pattern and orchestrate, remediate, and save resources and operations in managing +1,000 Control Planes.
If you never heard the Hosted Control Plane term, my partner wrote this blog post (https://clastix.io/post/the-raise-of-hosted-control-plane-in...), or you can reference the Red Hat ones about Hypershift which is based on the same principle (pods instead of VMs), as well as with GDCH (Google Distributed Cloud Hosted).
Compared to other solutions, such as HyperShift by Red Hat, or k0smotron by Mirantis, Kamaji is offering vanilla clusters, with a strong focus on Day-2 automation: we've adopters using Kamaji offering a public service, as well as others for CI/CD/dev environments, or embedding it in their infrastructure product.
Happy to answer all your questions.
