With k0smotron, every workload cluster gets a Kubernetes control plane that runs as pods inside a management cluster. Hosted control planes (HCPs) become ordinary Kubernetes workloads: schedulable, patchable, killable like any other Deployment. The tradeoff is that the management cluster pays the bill.
