Purpose: Liqo enables dynamic, transparent multi-cluster Kubernetes topologies.
Namespace extension: Liqo can extend consumer namespaces across clusters and replicate configurations, secrets, services, and other resources.
Workload offloading: Liqo represents a remote cluster as a virtual node so consumer clusters can schedule workloads there.
Networking: Its network fabric connects pods across peered clusters, using WireGuard VPN tunnels by default.
Storage: Liqo describes cross-cluster storage support for remote execution of stateful workloads.
Integrations: Liqo supports declarative peering with Kubernetes resources and describes using GitOps tools such as ArgoCD to manage peering changes.
Supported environments: Liqo is designed for heterogeneous on-premises, public cloud, edge, and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments.
Security: Cross-cluster connections use secure WireGuard VPN tunnels, and Liqo documents generating a kubeconfig with limited permissions for peering.
Requirements: Liqo requires Linux kernel 5.10 or later and recommends at least 2 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM for the cluster.
Compatibility limit: Liqo guarantees compatibility with the latest three Kubernetes major releases; older releases may work but are not officially supported.
CLI platforms: The liqoctl CLI provides downloads for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Support: The project directs users to its Slack community, documentation, and GitHub repository.
