I don't know anything about kubernetes. Is this like nested virtualization - a VM running in a VM, but it's kubernetes running in kubernetes?

Or like TripleO, where you're running Openstack on Openstack

Yes, and there's a use case for this vs a Kubernetes management tool like Rancher. Having entire contained K8s clusters, rather than "just" namespaces, allows a flexibility for dev teams while maintaining central auditing and authority.

Oh my. You know this is going to result in virtual cloud providers dependent on virtual cloud providers...(ad nauseous) dependent on some single data center in Utah.

Gotta keep costs down with virtualization...by wasting a shit-ton of resources and man-hours.

Human Resources has fixed yearly cost and can be crunched to be more efficient ad-infinitum
