The Case for Portable Autoscaling
Kubernetes makes workloads elastic until you hit the node layer. Managed services offer partial fixes, but hybrid and isolated environments still face scaling gaps and wasted resources. vCluster Auto Nodes close this gap by combining isolation, just-in-time elasticity, and environment-agnostic portability.

Running Dedicated Clusters with vCluster: A Technical Deep Dive into Private Nodes
Private Nodes in vCluster v0.27 take Kubernetes multi-tenancy to the next level by enabling fully isolated, dedicated clusters. In this deep dive, we walk through setup, benefits, and gotchas, from creating a vCluster with Private Nodes to joining worker nodes and deploying workloads. If you need stronger isolation, simpler lifecycle management, or enterprise-grade security, this guide covers how Private Nodes transform vCluster into a powerful single-tenant option without losing the flexibility of virtual clusters.

vCluster v0.27: Introducing Private Nodes for Dedicated Clusters
Private Nodes complete vCluster’s tenancy spectrum: tenants connect their own nodes to a centrally managed control plane for full isolation, custom runtimes (CRI/CNI/CSI), and consistent performance, ideal for AI/ML, HPC, and regulated environments. Learn how it works and what’s next with Auto Nodes.

NVIDIAScape: How vNode prevents this container breakout without the need for VMs
NVIDIAScape (CVE-2025-23266) is a critical GPU-related vulnerability that allows attackers to break out of containers and gain root access. While some respond by layering in virtual machines, this blog walks through a better approach, how vNode uses container-native sandboxing to neutralize such attacks at the kernel level without sacrificing performance. Includes a step-by-step replication of the exploit, and a demo of how vNode prevents it.
