# Kubernetes Working Group for Multi-Tenancy

This is a working place for multi-tenancy related proposals and prototypes. To
join our biweekly meetings, Slack, mailing list, [please visit our community
page](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/wg-multitenancy/README.md).

## Projects

The multi-tenancy working group is in charge of the following projects:

* **[Benchmarks](benchmarks/):** a set of benchmarks (i.e., compliance
  tests) to determine if your clusters are well-configured for multitenancy.
* **[Hierararchical namespaces (aka
  HNC)](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces):** allows
  namespaces to own each other, policy propagation between related namespaces,
  and delegated namespace creation.
  * HNC was previously housed in [this repo](incubator/hnc) but graduated in May
    2021.
* **[Virtual clusters](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-nested/tree/main/virtualcluster):** run multiple virtualized
  cluster on a single underlying cluster, allowing for hard(er) multitenancy.
  * VirtualCluster was previously housed in [this repo](incubator/virtualcluster)
    but graduated in May 2021.

Past projects also include:

* **[[DEPRECATED] Tenant Operator](tenant/):** an opinionated solution to manage
  tenants within a cluster.
  * The Tenant Operator has been replaced by HNC and VC and is no longer being
    actively developed.
