Adding Shared Hosts

You can enable shared Hosts in the DuploCloud Portal. First, configure one Tenant to allow K8s Pods from other Tenants to run on its Host(s). Then, configure another Tenant to run its K8s Pods on Hosts in other Tenants. This allows you to break Tenant boundaries for greater flexibility.
