Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Workload Sharing π
In real Kubernetes setups,
You often have,
- Multiple Kubernetes clusters (on-prem, cloud, or edge)
- Different teams managing different clusters
- Unused resources in one cluster, while another is overloaded
As you may know, Kubernetes doesnt easily let clusters βseeβ or βuseβ each otherβs resources.
Each one is isolated.
But what if
You could make your Kubernetes clusters talk to each other
That is exactly what a tool named Liqo helps you do.
Its an open-source project that connects multiple Kubernetes clusters together. On-prem, cloud, or even at the edge and lets them act as one unified system.
Here is how it works π
- It discovers and peers clusters automatically.
- Creates virtual nodes representing remote clusters.
- Schedules pods on those nodes just like local ones.
- Handles networking, service discovery, and authentication behind the scenes.

Liqos networking combines tunneling, NAT, DNS, service reflection, and gateway routing to make multiple clusters behave like one connected system.
Also, Liqo extends Kubernetes beyond Multi-Cluster Services .
It not only connects clusters, but also lets them share compute resources seamlessly.
