Rethinking Kubernetes scale: avoid the risks of etcd sharding with virtual clusters built for performance, stability, and multi-tenant environments.
Is your Kubernetes cluster slowing down under load? etcd doesn’t scale well with multi-tenancy or 30k+ objects. This blog shows how virtual clusters offer an easier, safer way to isolate tenants and scale your control plane, no sharding required.

Why Namespace Isolation Falls Short for GPU Workloads, and How Multi-Tenancy with vCluster Solves It
Managing AI workloads on bare metal Kubernetes with GPUs presents unique challenges, from weak namespace isolation to underutilized resources and operational overhead. This blog explores the pitfalls of namespace-based multi-tenancy, why running a separate cluster per team is expensive, and how vCluster enables secure, efficient, and autonomous GPU sharing for AI teams.
