Key Features

Open Virtual Cluster provides a comprehensive set of tools to create and manage virtual Kubernetes environments.

Virtual Cluster Operator

Powerful Kubernetes operator that creates and manages lightweight, isolated virtual clusters within your existing infrastructure.

User-Friendly UI

Intuitive web interface for creating, configuring, and reusing virtual clusters without complex CLI commands.

Tekton Integration

Seamless integration with Tekton pipelines for creating ephemeral testing and development environments on demand.

Resource Efficiency

Optimize resource usage by sharing common components across virtual clusters while maintaining isolation.

Developer Self-Service

Enable developers to create their own isolated environments without waiting for infrastructure teams.

GitOps Compatible

Integrate with GitOps workflows for declarative management of virtual clusters as code.

Use Cases

Discover how Open Virtual Cluster can transform your development and testing workflows.

CI/CD Pipelines

Create isolated Kubernetes environments for each CI/CD pipeline run with Tekton integration, ensuring tests don't interfere with each other and resources are cleaned up after completion.

Development Environments

Give each developer their own virtual cluster for development and testing, without the overhead of managing full Kubernetes clusters.

Multi-tenant Platforms

Build self-service platforms allowing multiple tenants to run workloads in isolated environments sharing the same infrastructure.

Kubernetes Education

Provide safe, isolated environments for users to learn and experiment with Kubernetes without affecting production systems.

About Open Virtual Cluster

Open Virtual Cluster is an open-source project that combines a powerful virtual cluster operator with an intuitive UI, enabling teams to efficiently create and manage ephemeral Kubernetes environments. Our integration with Tekton pipelines provides a seamless experience for testing and development workflows, allowing you to focus on building great applications rather than managing infrastructure.
