Abstract

As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native architectures, the demand for flexible, efficient, and scalable orchestration solutions across multi-cloud environments has grown significantly. Kubernetes, as a leading container orchestration platform, has become the de facto standard for managing workloads across heterogeneous cloud infrastructures. However, orchestrating workloads across multiple cloud providers introduces complex challenges related to resource optimization, workload portability, latency management, inter-cluster communication, and security. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for Scalable Kubernetes Workload Orchestration in Multi-Cloud Environments, aiming to optimize resource utilization, ensure high availability, and maintain seamless workload distribution. The proposed approach integrates advanced workload schedulers, federated Kubernetes clusters, and cloud-agnostic deployment strategies to address limitations in native Kubernetes scalability across clouds. Our model leverages container placement algorithms, latency-aware scheduling, and policy-based workload migration to dynamically balance workloads based on system health, network performance, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, integration with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools and CI/CD pipelines ensures consistent deployment patterns and version control across cloud vendors.
