# Hybrid Multi-Tenancy Model: Capsule + Kamaji
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Your Kubernetes cluster now supports **TWO types of tenants**:
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Capsule Tenants** (Lightweight, Namespace-based)
|
|
- Best for: Internal teams, dev/qa/staging environments
|
|
- Isolation: Namespace-level
|
|
- Overhead: Very low
|
|
- User experience: Limited Kubernetes (namespaces only)
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Kamaji Tenants** (Virtual Clusters)
|
|
- Best for: External customers, production workloads requiring full cluster experience
|
|
- Isolation: Control plane-level
|
|
- Overhead: Medium (dedicated API server per tenant)
|
|
- User experience: Full Kubernetes cluster
|
|

## When to Use Which?
|
|
|
|
### Use **Capsule** when:
|
|
✅ Internal teams (dev, qa, staging)
|
|
✅ Simple app deployments
|
|
✅ Resource-constrained environments
|
|
✅ Need Rancher UI access
|
|
✅ Don't need cluster-admin features
|
|
✅ Want low overhead
|
|
|
|
### Use **Kamaji** when:
|
|
✅ External customers paying for dedicated clusters
|
|
✅ Need complete Kubernetes API experience
|
|
✅ Want to install CRDs or cluster-level resources
|
|
✅ Need different Kubernetes versions per tenant
|
|
✅ Strong isolation requirements
|
|
✅ Selling "Kubernetes-as-a-Service"
|
|

## Managing Capsule Tenants
|
|
|
|
### Add User to Tenant
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl patch tenant dev-team --type='json' \
|
|
-p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/owners/-", "value": {"kind": "User", "name": "newuser"}}]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update Resource Quotas
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl edit tenant dev-team
|
|
# Modify spec.resourceQuotas.items[0].hard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create Namespace as Tenant Owner
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Login as dev user in Rancher, create namespace in UI
|
|
# Or use kubectl with dev user credentials
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Managing Kamaji Tenants
|
|
|
|
### Create New Tenant
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl apply -f - << 'YAML'
|
|
apiVersion: kamaji.clastix.io/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: TenantControlPlane
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: customer2
|
|
namespace: kamaji-system
|
|
spec:
|
|
controlPlane:
|
|
deployment:
|
|
replicas: 1
|
|
service:
|
|
serviceType: ClusterIP
|
|
kubernetes:
|
|
version: "v1.28.0"
|
|
networkProfile:
|
|
port: 6443
|
|
podCidr: "10.245.0.0/16" # Different from customer1
|
|
serviceCidr: "10.97.0.0/16" # Different from customer1
|
|
addons:
|
|
coreDNS: {}
|
|
kubeProxy: {}
|
|
YAML
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get Tenant Kubeconfig
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl get secret customer2-admin-kubeconfig -n kamaji-system \
|
|
-o jsonpath='{.data.admin\.conf}' | base64 -d > customer2-kubeconfig.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create NodePort for External Access
|
|
```bash
|
|
kubectl apply -f - << 'YAML'
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
|
kind: Service
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: customer2-external
|
|
namespace: kamaji-system
|
|
spec:
|
|
type: NodePort
|
|
selector:
|
|
kamaji.clastix.io/name: customer2
|
|
ports:
|
|
- protocol: TCP
|
|
port: 6443
|
|
targetPort: 6443
|
|
nodePort: 31444 # Different port for each tenant
|
|
YAML
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update Kubeconfig for External Access
|
|
```bash
|
|
sed 's|server: https://.*:6443|server: https://160.30.114.10:31444|g' \
|
|
customer2-kubeconfig.yaml > customer2-kubeconfig-external.yaml
|
|
```
|

## Cost Analysis
|
|
|
|
### Capsule (3 tenants)
|
|
- Infrastructure: $0 (pure RBAC)
|
|
- Management: Minimal
|
|
|
|
### Kamaji (1 tenant)
|
|
- Etcd cluster: 3 GB RAM
|
|
- Control plane: 1.5 GB RAM per tenant
|
|
- Total: ~4.5 GB RAM for first tenant, +1.5 GB per additional
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: Use Capsule for internal teams, Kamaji for paying customers
|
|

## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ Capsule multi-tenancy configured
|
|
2. ✅ Kamaji virtual clusters operational
|
|
3. ⏭️ Create billing/metering for Kamaji tenants
|
|
4. ⏭️ Add monitoring per tenant
|
|
5. ⏭️ Configure backup/restore per tenant
|
|
6. ⏭️ Implement resource quotas enforcement
