Pivotal's doctrine of how to use Kubernetes is explicitly multi-cluster oriented, but that's because we come to the table with tooling that excels at this kind of problem: BOSH.

Of course the consultancies love that because it's a bespoke layer for them to build and support, but the reality is setting up a small team to run a couple of clusters eases the job of discoverability and secops, and for many orgs is "good enough".
Still, there is room for improvement, buy I doubt it's many masters without another product on top.
