Self-Service Virtual Clusters for Developers

🔐Loft eliminates the need for each project team to create and manage their own Kubernetes cluster, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

🌐By creating a company-wide Kubernetes cluster, loft enables centralized administration and resource management.

🔒Loft provides access control features to ensure that each team only has access to their project resources and to restrict access within teams based on roles.

⚙️With loft, developers can easily create and deploy virtual clusters for testing new features or demoing applications, without impacting other projects.

📦Virtual clusters are isolated from each other, ensuring resource and application separation between projects.

How does loft handle access control in the shared cluster?

—Loft provides access control features, allowing admins to manage user permissions and restrict access to project resources based on roles.

Can virtual clusters be created in existing Kubernetes clusters?

—Yes, loft can be installed in any Kubernetes cluster, enabling the creation of virtual clusters within the existing infrastructure.

What happens if a developer messes up their virtual cluster?

—Virtual clusters are isolated, so any issues or changes made within a virtual cluster do not affect other clusters or projects.

Can virtual clusters be easily removed after they are no longer needed?

—Yes, virtual clusters can be easily removed once they have served their purpose, freeing up resources for other projects.

How does loft ensure resource and application separation between virtual clusters?

—Loft creates lightweight Kubernetes clusters within namespaces, providing complete isolation between virtual clusters.
