You might be thinking about kcp? https://github.com/kcp-dev/kcp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaPBYUfdFE8 The team is developing the idea and has made a lot of progress. Fair warning, some of the recent progress is not accurately represented in the demos / docs. I think the ideas behind kcp, along with this work from crossplane, is a great example of the Kube ecosystem exploring new opportunities (also vcluster and cluster api nested). Infrastructure control planes have a lot of potential advantages for streamlining complex environments for consumers. edit: This work from crossplane is awesome because it benefits kcp which is trying to hit that next level (an example of giving back that benefits everyone)
In Scaling Kubernetes to Thousands of CRDs
And making it so that "many clusters" look exactly like "one cluster" is one of the goals the kcp prototype was exploring (although still early) because I hear this ALL the time: 1. 1 cluster was awesome 2. Many clusters means I rebuild the world 3. I wish there was a way to get the benefits of one cluster across multiples. Which I believe is a solvable problem and partially what we've been poking at at https://github.com/kcp-dev/kcp (although it's still so early that I don't want to get hopes up).
