Clusterpedia: Multi-Cluster Resource Search

by Shriira Press

A practical, in-depth guide to Clusterpedia, the open-source multi-cluster resource search platform for Kubernetes. Learn how Clusterpedia makes a fleet searchable as one: the cross-cluster search problem (why finding resources across clusters is hard), the architecture (collect, store, serve via a kubectl-compatible API), importing clusters and collecting resources (PediaCluster, watch and sync), the resource store and pluggable storage layers, searching and querying (kubectl with rich conditions, pagination, sorting), advanced search and collection resources (operators, owner relations, cluster groups), resource history/access/integration (deleted resources, read-only observability, data source), operations and best practices, and Clusterpedia in practice.
