This document discusses container federation use cases. It describes motivations for federation like handling periodic load spikes and simplifying management. It also outlines some key components of federation like uniform APIs, replication, and load balancing. Specific examples are given like using federation to connect a Condor scheduler across clusters for matchmaking and resource sharing. Federating Kubernetes clusters can provide a unified way to deploy containers and workloads across multiple datacenters and clouds while maintaining a common API and operational model.
