Clastix Kamaji

Hosted Control Plane Manager for Kubernetes that runs control planes as pods inside a management cluster for multi-tenancy.

-
IT Est. 2020 Active Backend-as-a-Service

Our Verdict

A clever multi-tenant k8s pattern for platform teams, overkill for single-cluster shops.

Pros

  • Kubernetes control planes as pods
  • Strong multi-tenancy story
  • Open source under CNCF sandbox

Cons

  • Requires deep k8s operational skill
  • Niche use case for most teams
  • Small but growing community
Best for: Platform engineers offering hosted k8s control planes internally Not for: Teams running a handful of clusters without tenant isolation needs

When to Use Clastix Kamaji

Good fit if you need

  • Multi-tenant Kubernetes with control planes as lightweight pods
  • Managed Kubernetes control planes for SaaS platform teams
  • Reducing costs by consolidating K8s control planes on shared infra
  • Kubernetes-as-a-Service platform on your own cloud infrastructure
  • Isolating tenant clusters without full dedicated master nodes
