Yes, we've heard from a number of people who want that and will improve regional support.

Current ideas are either a single regional cluster or via federation of multiple zonal clusters.

See eg https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/maste... for an proposal on the latter.

FWIW, I'd love to have Kubernetes clusters spanning a region with multiple regions/providers managed by Ubernetes. That would be the sweet spot for our particular usage case.

This is only one point of data for you, of course.

Kubernetes Cluster Federation (proposal) "Ubernetes"

"Today, each Kubernetes cluster is a relatively self-contained unit, which typically runs in a single "on-premise" data centre or single availability zone of a cloud provider (Google's GCE, Amazon's AWS, etc)."

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/relea...

While cute, that name would make Kubernetes appear to be the KDE version of Ubernetes.

Agreed. That's the only reason we're not on Kubernetes right now. It really dramatically increases the amount of infrastructure we need to run when we're forced to run three Kubernetes clusters to run a single MongoDB replica set. But I love everything else Kubernetes is doing and so I'm very anxious to see that be addressed.
