Hmm... seems to call for a tool for a cluster-of-clusters.

If "kubernetes" is Greek for the ship's pilot, what's the name for the captain or maybe the admiral of the armada?

One of the several tools in this space is called Admiralty:

Google says the Greek for that is Ναυαρχείο. Now if you see a product named Navarxeio or Navarcheio, you'll know what it is.

More directly relevant is Cluster Federation:
