Description

### What are you trying to do?

It would enable use cases like cross-region/cross-cloud Kubernetes clusters, as well as "bursting into cloud" functionality for those running on-prem without worrying about firewalls and VPC peering.

On-prem clusters would also benefit by getting e2e encrypted tunnels between pods and nodes.

I think at the limit, even replacing node<->apiserver communication with Tailscale would be interesting as that would remove some of the complexities involved with PKI management.
