Ghost in the Platform: How the Dutch Tax Authority built a Service to scale K8s to 99+ applications
How do you transform a mostly empty Kubernetes platform into a thriving ecosystem running 100+ production applications? This talk shares the Dutch Tax Authority's journey from a "ghost platform" to a secure-by-default, self-service platform developers actually want to use.
In 2019, we started our Kubernetes platform with minimal automation and scattered knowledge. Today, we run a fully automated Project as a Service platform guiding teams from idea to production with built-in security and best practices.
We'll demonstrate how we achieved this through:
- Developer enablement via Communities of Practice, workshops, and hackathons
- Automated onboarding with security and validation baked in
- integration of Tekton and Backstage
- Centralized management using ArgoCD, RHACM, and Kyverno
- Self-service powered by our open-source PaaS Operator
This session includes a live demo, architecture insights, and lessons learned. You'll leave with a blueprint and access to our open-source tools.
