Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

Kplane provides a CLI to create lightweight virtual Kubernetes control planes (VCPs) backed by a shared API server, drastically reducing per-cluster overhead to about 2MB of memory. It's interesting because it tackles a known scalability pain point in multi-cluster Kubernetes with a practical, resource-efficient virtualization approach and aims to inform upstream improvements.
