Hi Devs,

There is a proposal for implementing $subject in Kubernetes. This feature
is called Kubernetes Cluster Federation [1] and it is more than cloud
bursting.

Main focus is on following features:

   - *"Preferentially run my workloads in my on-premise cluster(s), but
   automatically overflow to my cloud-hosted cluster(s) if I run out of
   on-premise capacity".*
   - *"Most of my workloads should run in my preferred cloud-hosted
   cluster(s), but some are privacy-sensitive, and should be automatically
   diverted to run in my secure, on-premise cluster(s)".*
   - *"I want to avoid vendor lock-in, so I want my workloads to run across
   multiple cloud providers all the time. I change my set of such cloud
   providers, and my pricing contracts with them, periodically".*
   - *"I want to be immune to any single data centre or cloud availability
   zone outage, so I want to spread my service across multiple such zones (and
   ideally even across multiple cloud providers)."*
