Clusternet

Abstract

1. Introduction

Clusternet (Cluster Internet) is an open source add-on that helps you manage thousands of millions of Kubernetes clusters as easily as visiting the Internet. No matter the clusters are running on public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, or at the edge, Clusternet helps setup network tunnels in a configurable way and lets you manage/visit them all as if they were running locally. This also helps eliminate the need to juggle different management tools for each cluster.

Clusternet also provides a Kubernetes-styled API, where you can continue using the Kubernetes way, such as KubeConfig, to visit a certain managed Kubernetes cluster, or a Kubernetes service.

Clusternet is multiple platforms supported now, including linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x , linux/386 , and linux/arm;

2. Objective

[CNCF Sandbox Project] Managing your Kubernetes clusters (including public, private, edge, etc.) as easily as visiting the Internet

This project demonstrates how Go, Kubernetes can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
