Versions: be careful what you wish for

What you ask for is what you get. This lightening talk describes how Kubernetes manages resource versions on the cluster and how operators should be aware of what that means when getting, describing and managing them.

We will cover what stored, served and default versions are, how the API transforms requests in-flight and how stored versions are upgraded

The Building of Colossus: Taking a Global Financial Giant's IDP to the Next Level

When an IDP supporting 30,000 developers begins to outgrow itself, future scaling is a major challenge. This was the case for a global financial institution with ambitions to grow 10x larger - the platform had to evolve from massive to colossal!

Building Internal Developer Platforms for Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance
