Kubernetes as the Control Plane for the Hybrid Cloud
summary
Proposes a lightweight control plane that exposes the Kubernetes API without pods or nodes and demos a working kcp prototype that installs CRDs to program cloud resources, import APIs from real clusters, and federate a Deployment by splitting replicas across two clusters. Shows CRD tenancy per-cluster to isolate extensions, uses declarative semantics to let a single control plane coordinate DNS, load balancers and databases, and describes the prototype as hacky but functional.
