 Gardener is based on the idea of three types of clusters – *Garden cluster*, *Seed cluster* and *Shoot cluster* (see **Figure 1**). The Garden cluster is used to control the entire Kubernetes environment centrally in a highly scalable design. The highly available seed clusters are used to host the end users (shoot) clusters’ control planes. Finally, the shoot clusters consist only of worker nodes to host the cloud native applications.

 An integration of the Gardener open source project with a new cloud provider follows a standard [Gardener extensibility](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/extensions/overview.md) approach. The integration requires two new components: a [provider extension](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/extensions/overview.md) and a [Machine Controller Manager (MCM) extension](https://github.com/gardener/machine-controller-manager/blob/master/docs/development/cp_support_new.md). Both components together enable Gardener to instruct the new cloud provider. They run in the Gardener seed clusters that host the control planes of the shoots based on that cloud provider. The role of the provider extension is to manage the provider-specific aspects of the shoot clusters’ lifecycle, including infrastructure, control plane, worker nodes, and others. It works in cooperation with the MCM extension, which in particular is responsible to handle machines that are provisioned as worker nodes for the shoot clusters. To get this job done, the MCM extension leverages the VM management/API capabilities available with the respective cloud provider.
 
 Setting up a Kubernetes cluster always involves a flow of interdependent steps (see **Figure 2**), beginning with the generation of certificates and preparation of the infrastructure, continuing with the provisioning of the control plane and the worker nodes, and ending with the deployment of system components. Gardener can be configured to utilize the KubeVirt extensions in its generic workflow at the right extension points, and deliver the desired outcome of a KubeVirt backed cluster.

 With containers and Kubernetes becoming the lingua franca of the cloud, we are happy to announce the *STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE)*, which has been released as Beta in November this year. We decided to use Gardener as the cluster management engine underneath SKE - for good reasons as you will see – and we would like to share our experiences with Gardener when working on the SKE Beta release, and serve as a testimonial for this technology.

 -	SKE uses a private image registry for the Gardener installation in order to resolve dependencies to public image registries and to have more control over the used Gardener versions. To install and run Gardener with the private image registry, some new configurations need to be introduced into Gardener.
 - Gardener is a first-class API based service what allowed us to smoothly integrate it into the STACKIT User Interface. We were also able to jump-start and utilize the Gardener Dashboard for our Beta release by merely adjusting the look-&-feel, i.e. colors, labels and icons.

 Some features mentioned above might sound familiar to you, simply because they’re squarely derived from Kubernetes. Concretely, if you explore a Gardener managed end-user cluster, you’ll never see the so-called “control plane components” (_Kube-Apiserver, Kube-Controller-Manager, Kube-Scheduler, etc._) The reason is that they run as Pods inside another, hosting/seeding Kubernetes cluster. Speaking in Gardener terms, the latter is called a _Seed_ cluster, and the end-user cluster is called a _Shoot_ cluster; and thus the botanical naming scheme for Gardener was born. Further assets like infrastructure components or worker machines are modelled as managed Kubernetes objects too. This allows Gardener to leverage all the great and production proven features of Kubernetes for managing Kubernetes clusters. Our [blog post](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2019/12/02/gardener-project-update/) on Kubernetes.io reveals more details about the architectural refinements.

 End-users directly benefit from Gardener’s recursive architecture. Many of the requirements that we identified for the Gardener service turned out to be highly convenient for shoot owners. For instance, Seed clusters are usually equipped with _DNS_ and _x509_ services. At the same time, these service offerings can be extended to requests coming from the Shoot clusters i.e., end-users get domain names and certificates for their applications out of the box.

 ## Setting Up a Gardener Shoot for mTLS Certificate Management
 
 Here we use a self managed mTLS architecture with an illustration purpose. In a production environment, you would typically use a managed certificate authority (CA) or a service mesh to handle mTLS certificates and encryption. However, there might be cases where you want to have flexibility in authentication and authorization mechanisms, for example, by leveraging Kubernetes RBAC to determine whether a service is authorized to connect to a backend or not. In our illustration, we will use a `kube-rbac-proxy` as a sidecar to the backends, to enforce the mTLS authentication and authorization. The `kube-rbac-proxy` is a reverse proxy that uses Kubernetes RBAC to control access to services, allowing us to define fine-grained access control policies.

 The `kube-rbac-proxy` extracts the identity of the client (OpenTelemetry collector) from the CommonName (CN) field of the TLS certificate and uses it to perform authorization checks against the Kubernetes API server. This enables fine-grained access control policies based on client identity, ensuring that only authorized clients can connect to the backends.

 API aggregation involves setting up a so called extension-API-server and registering it with the main Kubernetes API server. The extension API server will then serve resources of custom-defined API groups on its own. While the main Kubernetes API server is still used to handle RBAC, authorization, namespacing, quotas, limits, etc., all custom resources will be delegated to the extension-API-server. This is done through an APIService resource in the main API server - it specifies that, e.g., the API group `core.gardener.cloud` is served by a dedicated extension-API-server and all requests concerning this API group should be forwarded the specified IP address or Kubernetes service name. Extension API servers can persist their resources in their very own etcd but they do not have to - instead, they can use the main API servers etcd as well.

 Gardener uses its very own extension API server for its resources like Shoot, Seed, CloudProfile, SecretBinding, etc... However, Gardener does not set up a dedicated etcd for its own extension API server - instead, it reuses the existing etcd of the main Kubernetes API server. This is absolutely possible since the resources of Gardener's API are part of the API group `gardener.cloud` and thus will not interfere with any resources of the main Kubernetes API in etcd.

 Since Gardener's API endpoint is a regular Kubernetes cluster, it would theoretically serve all resources from the Kubernetes core API, including Pods, Deployments, etc. However, Gardener implements RBAC rules and disables certain controllers that make these resources inaccessible. Objects like Secrets, Namespaces, and ResourceQuotas are still available, though, as they play a vital role in Gardener.

The requested certificate can be customized by the means of several other annotations known to the controller.

 Gardener is all about Kubernetes clusters, which we call shoots. However, Gardener also does user management, delicate permission management and offers technical accounts to integrate its services into other infrastructures. It allows you to create several quotas and it needs credentials to connect to cloud providers. All of these are arranged in multiple fully contained projects, each of which belongs to a dedicated user and / or group.

 Let's take a rather simple example of two dimensions - the number of `Pods` per `Node` and number of `Nodes` in a cluster. According to the [scalability thresholds documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-scalability/configs-and-limits/thresholds.md), Kubernetes can scale up to 5000 `Nodes` and with default settings accommodate a maximum of 110 `Pods` on a single `Node`. Pushing only a single dimension towards its limit will likely harm the cluster. But if both are pushed simultaneously, any cluster will break way before reaching one dimension's limit.

 What sounds rather straightforward in theory can be a bit trickier in reality. While 110 `Pods` is the default limit, we successfully pushed beyond that and in certain cases run up to 800 `Pods` per `Node` without breaking the cluster (see [our remarks on higher pod density per node](https://gardener.cloud/blog/2025/04/04-17-leaner-clusters-lower-bills/#enabling-higher-pod-density-per-node)). This is possible in an environment where one knows and controls all workloads and cluster configurations. It still requires careful testing, though, and comes at the cost of limiting the scalability of other dimensions, like the number of `Nodes`.

 The API server is a central component of Kubernetes and many components initiate connections to it, including the kubelet running on worker nodes. Most of the requests from those clients will end up updating Kubernetes objects (pods, services, deployments, and so on) in the etcd database but the API server usually does not need to initiate TCP connections itself.

 However, there are exceptions. Some `kubectl` commands will trigger the API server to open a new connection to the kubelet. `kubectl exec` is one of those commands. In order to get the standard I/Os from the pod, the API server will start an HTTP connection to the kubelet on the worker node where the pod is running. Depending on the container runtime used, it can be done in different ways, but one way to do it is for the kubelet to reply with a HTTP-302 redirection to the [Container Runtime Interface (CRI)](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-node/container-runtime-interface.md). Basically, the kubelet is telling the API server to get the streams from CRI itself directly instead of forwarding. The redirection from the kubelet will only change the port and path from the URL; the IP address will not be changed because the kubelet and the CRI component run on the same worker node.

 The impact of this issue depends on the specific setup.

The setup we explored had a different AWS account and a different [EC2 instance profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2_instance-profiles.html) for the worker nodes and the control plane.

 For our tests, we had access to a Kubernetes setup where users are not only given access to the API server in the control plane, but also to a Grafana instance that is used to gather data from their Kubernetes clusters via Prometheus. The control plane is managed and users don’t have access to the nodes that it runs. They can only access the API server and Grafana via a load balancer. The internal network of the control plane is therefore hidden to users.

By configuring a new custom data source in Grafana, we could send HTTP requests to target the control plane network, for example the AWS metadata service.
