V Cluster: A Cost-Efficient Solution for Shared Kubernetes Clusters

V Cluster is an open-source project that provides a cost-efficient way to create and manage virtual clusters within a Kubernetes environment. With V Cluster, you can spin up multiple virtual clusters that share resources from a single host cluster, reducing costs and improving resource utilization. The virtual clusters can be configured with different versions of Kubernetes, allowing for testing and development of new features. V Cluster also supports integration with various tools and features, including network policies, storage provisioning, and security scanning. Furthermore, V Cluster enables platform engineers to build centralized and scalable Kubernetes infrastructure, offering self-service capabilities to developers and enabling faster deployment of applications.
