kcp is a Kubernetes-like control plane focusing on

* being a control plane for many independent, isolated "clusters"
  known as workspaces, * enabling API service providers to offer APIs centrally
  using multi-tenant operators and * easy API consumption for users in their workspaces.

kcp can be a building block for SaaS service providers who need a massively multi-tenant platform to offer services to a large number of fully isolated tenants using Kubernetes-native APIs.

To get started, launch a new instance with 'kcp start', which will initialize your personal shard and write an admin kubeconfig file to disk.

Usage:
  kcp [command]

Available Commands:
  completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  help        Help about any command
  start       Start the control plane process
