If your organization is adopting multiple Kubernetes clusters, chances are that multiple users or groups have access to these clusters on the same shared infrastructure. Kubernetes multi-tenancy aims to drive efficient use of infrastructure, while providing operators with robust isolation mechanisms between users, workloads, or teams. Running more applications on the same shared infrastructure means better utilization of resources and a reduction in overall operating costs.

We are seeing organizations struggle to deploy and manage their Kubernetes clusters due to the increasing level of oversight required and the current lack of attention during the planning phase. Day 2 operations can be a “sink or swim” time for these organizations. Without effective Day 2 operations, organizations will face challenges scaling their IT environment and will not be ready to handle new threats to security and availability.
