Definition

KubeFed, short for Kubernetes Federation, is a tool that enables the management of multiple Kubernetes clusters as a single entity. It allows for the distribution of resources and workloads across clusters, providing high availability, disaster recovery, and geographic distribution. KubeFed facilitates centralized control over multiple clusters, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and resource allocation.
