You might be thinking about kcp?

The team is developing the idea and has made a lot of progress. Fair warning, some of the recent progress is not accurately represented in the demos / docs.

I think the ideas behind kcp, along with this work from crossplane, is a great example of the Kube ecosystem exploring new opportunities (also vcluster and cluster api nested). Infrastructure control planes have a lot of potential advantages for streamlining complex environments for consumers.

edit: This work from crossplane is awesome because it benefits kcp which is trying to hit that next level (an example of giving back that benefits everyone)

I agree with this. Also, have you seen the kcp project? Seems like a promising experiment.

And making it so that "many clusters" look exactly like "one cluster" is one of the goals the kcp prototype was exploring (although still early) because I hear this ALL the time:

1. 1 cluster was awesome

2. Many clusters means I rebuild the world

3. I wish there was a way to get the benefits of one cluster across multiples.

Which I believe is a solvable problem and partially what we've been poking at at https://github.com/kcp-dev/kcp (although it's still so early that I don't want to get hopes up).
