Deploying applications on top of Kubernetes clusters involves stitching together multiple components — operators, controllers, CRDs, Helm charts — and getting the sequencing and configuration right across all of them. Teams spend days or weeks on integration work before anything is production-ready. Certified Stacks eliminate that gap.
A Certified Stack is a tested, versioned, one-command deployment of a vCluster plus a complete application stack. Each stack handles provisioning, dependency orchestration, and configuration automatically, with minimal input required. Define your tenancy model, pick your stack, and go.
vCluster creates fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters that run inside namespaces of a host cluster. Each vCluster has its own API server, control plane, and syncer — giving tenants full cluster-level access and isolation without requiring dedicated physical infrastructure. This makes vCluster the foundation for scalable multi-tenancy: platform teams manage one physical cluster while each team, customer, or workload gets its own Kubernetes environment with the flexibility of a real cluster and the efficiency of a shared one.
Multi-tenancy out of the box. Stacks ship with pre-built configurations for both hard and soft isolation models, so platform teams can match their tenancy architecture to their security and performance requirements without custom integration work.
Built on validated reference architectures. Each stack extends partner-published reference architectures with additional deployment flexibility and tenancy options — not a from-scratch reimagining.
Forkable and extensible. Every stack is a starting point, not a black box. Fork the repo, modify Helm values, swap components, or adapt the orchestration to your environment. Certified Stacks are designed to be customized — build your own stack for any workload or application.
