Introduction

As Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for deploying, managing, and scaling container-based workloads, it has introduced features to allow clusters to exist across multiple clouds, span clouds, and on-premises environments, and even connect clouds and edge computing deployments. Working across clouds and edges has been done via the Kubernetes native confederation project or third-party control planes that allow managing discrete clusters from one dashboard.

However, Kubernetes is a platform for deploying applications and isn’t inherently aware of location, topologies, or architectural distribution. While it can provide scalability and connect clouds to the edge, it falls to the application that is built and deployed on Kubernetes to work within that environment.
