As cloud-native development continues to rise and the industry embraces a Kubernetes-first paradigm, interest in cloud federation and hybrid cloud architectures is rapidly growing.

Abstract

As cloud-native development continues to rise and the industry embraces a Kubernetes-first paradigm, interest in cloud federation and hybrid cloud architectures is rapidly growing. These models offer compelling benefits such as seamless multi-region scalability, enhanced resilience, and flexible resource management. In this paper, we introduce a state-of-the-art, Kubernetes-native multi-cluster research testbed that leverages Liqo to enable seamless offloading of workloads and services across a distributed edge-cloud continuum. This approach supports dynamic, location-transparent deployment strategies that enhance performance and availability. Our solution paves the way for future-proof infrastructure designs that meet the evolving demands of decentralized computing environments.
