Listen Later

In this special KubeCon edition episode of the Kubernetes for Humans podcast, Itiel meets with Lukas Gentele, CEO and co-founder of Loft Labs. Discover why Lukas believes multi-tenancy is a major obstacle in Kubernetes adoption and how Loft Labs is tackling this challenge through innovative projects like vCluster, a "super famous project" for running virtual Kubernetes clusters.

Learn about the journey that led to vCluster's creation, stemming from the challenges of running a multi-tenant PaaS offering. Lukas also shares insights into the adoption of vCluster, including surprising stories of users running thousands of virtual clusters. The episode further explores Loft Labs' philosophy on balancing open source and commercial offerings.

The highlight? The announcement of vNode, a brand new commercial product for virtualizing nodes and achieving node-level security to separate vClusters even further. Understand the limitations of existing solutions like micro-VMs and GVisor and how VNode offers a lightweight alternative using Linux kernel magic. Finally, Lukas shares his prediction on the future of virtualization, suggesting a shift away from traditional VMs towards lighter-weight solutions like VNode.
