Allow vcluster creation in remote clusters

[FabianKramm]

Right now the provider is creating vclusters only in the management cluster of where cluster api is installed in. However, it would be nice if you could specify a kube config for a remote cluster where the provider should create the vcluster in. This would enable the cluster api provider to be installed into a pure management cluster while the actual vcluster could get managed somewhere else.

I would be open to try and take this feature on.

Is the main limitation of this because you cannot specify a kube config for a remote cluster?

Hey @casperprejler,

Thanks for your initiative. The concept of remote vClusters introduces multiple complexities, including the kube config for a remote cluster you mentioned. Given the depth of these intricacies and potential security challenges, we're treating this feature with caution.

While we appreciate the community's enthusiasm, such a feature is more suited for specialized settings beyond the OSS version of vCluster. We want to suggest against creating a PR for this at this stage.

Your insights and understanding as we shape vCluster's future are greatly appreciated.

@casperprejler perhaps using the pivot feature could be an alternative, what do you think ?
