Hi Patrizio,

As far as I understand it now, if you configure it right in terms of
networking, it will be possible for both single and multi-cloud cases.

Having only workers on the second cloud is fairly straightforward.

However, I think the real use-case is to implement k8s federation without
having to replicate etcd across multiple data centers and using
latency-based load-balancing:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/federation/
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/federation/set-up-cluster-federation-kubefed/

This will require charming of the federation controller manager to
have federation control plane for multiple clouds.

This is similar to an orchestrator use-case in the ETSI NFV architecture.

Quite an interesting problem to solve with cross-controller relations.
