K8Spin Operator

Kubernetes multi-tenant operator. Enables multi-tenant capabilities in your Kubernetes Cluster.

Features

The main features included in the Operator:

• Enable Multi-Tenant: Adds three new hierarchy concepts (Organizations, Tenants, and Spaces).
• Secure and scalable cluster management delegation: Cluster Admins creates Organizations then delegating its access to users and groups.
• Cluster budget management: Assigning resources in the organization definition makes it possible to understand how many resources are allocated to a user, team, or the whole company.

Concepts

K8Spin manages the multi-tenant feature with three simple concepts:

• Organization: Created by a cluster administrator, hosts tenants. Cluster administrator can set compute quotas for the whole Organization and grant permissions to users and/or groups.
• Tenant: A tenant can be created by an Organization administrator hosting spaces. The Tenant administrator can fix compute quotas and assign roles to users and/or groups. Tenants resources should fit into Organization resources.
• Space: Tenant administrators can create Spaces. Space is an abstraction layer on top of a Namespace. A tenant administrator should assign quotas and roles to Space. Space resources should fit into Tenant resources.

Install with Helm 3

Take a look to the K8Spin helm chart documentation.

# Create a local cluster
$ kind create cluster
# Deploy cert-manager
$ helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
$ helm repo update
$ helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --version v1.0.6 --set installCRDs=true
$ kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment --timeout=2m -n cert-manager --all
# Deploy K8Spin operator
$ export HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI="1"
$ helm chart pull ghcr.io/k8spin/k8spin-operator-chart:v1.0.6

$ kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment --timeout=2m --all

Install with kubectl

# Create a local cluster
$ kind create cluster
# Deploy cert-manager
$ kubectl apply -f deployments/kubernetes/cert-manager/cert-manager.yaml
$ kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment --timeout=2m -n cert-manager --all
# Deploy K8Spin operator
$ kubectl apply -f ./deployments/kubernetes/crds/ -n default
$ kubectl apply -f ./deployments/kubernetes/roles/ -n default
$ kubectl apply -f ./deployments/kubernetes/ -n default
$ kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment --timeout=2m -n default --all

Now you are ready to use the operator

$ kubectl apply -f examples/org-1.yaml
organization.k8spin.cloud/example created
$ kubectl apply -f examples/tenant-1.yaml
tenant.k8spin.cloud/crm created
$ kubectl apply -f examples/space-1.yaml
space.k8spin.cloud/dev created

As cluster-admin check organizations:

$ kubectl get org
NAME      AGE
example   86s

If you have installed the K8Spin kubectl plugin:

$ kubectl k8spin get org
Name                CPU                 Memory
example             10                  10Gi

As example organization admin get available tenants:

kubectl get tenants -n org-example --as Angel --as-group "K8Spin.cloud"
NAME   AGE
crm    7m31s

As crm tenant admin get spaces:

$ kubectl get spaces -n org-example-tenant-crm --as Angel --as-group "K8Spin.cloud"
NAME   AGE
dev    9m24s

Run a workload in the dev space:

$ kubectl run nginx --image nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged --replicas=2 -n org-example-tenant-crm-space-dev --as Angel --as-group "K8Spin.cloud"
pod/nginx created

Discover workloads in the dev space as space viewer:

$ kubectl get pods -n org-example-tenant-crm-space-dev --as Pau
NAME    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx   1/1     Running   0          66s
