Marvin Beckers: KCP 并非 Kubernetes 控制平面的缩写，而是一个云原生的 Kubernetes API 控制平面。它利用 Kubernetes 资源模型，为各种 API 项目提供控制能力，而不仅仅局限于容器编排。KCP 的多租户特性通过逻辑集群实现，允许在同一 KCP 实例上提供多个 Kubernetes API 端点，降低了 API 服务的成本。我认为 KCP 非常适合平台工程，可以作为中心化的 API 管理平台，为开发团队提供自助服务能力。 Abdel Sigiwar: 我理解 KCP 是一个精简版的 Kubernetes 控制平面，去除了容器编排部分，专注于 API 管理。它的多租户特性和逻辑集群的概念，使得 KCP 能够支持云提供商构建托管 Kubernetes 服务，或者为企业内部提供统一的 API 访问入口。我认为 KCP 在平台工程领域有很大的潜力，可以帮助企业构建灵活、可扩展的内部平台。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter introduces KCP, clarifying that it's not just a Kubernetes Control Plane but a cloud-native control plane for Kubernetes-like APIs. It explores the reasons for using KCP over Kubernetes, highlighting features like API management at scale and its multi-tenancy concept called logical clusters.
  • KCP is a cloud-native control plane for Kubernetes-like APIs.
  • It leverages the Kubernetes resource model for broader API project hosting.
  • KCP offers features for managing APIs at scale and multi-tenancy via logical clusters.
