Platform Real State: Abstract Your Organization's Tenancy Model Away With Crossplane
As platform teams mature, so does the definition of what they consider to be the bare platform components. Not only they need to provide application services to the developer teams but also manage infrastructure and middleware, to provide a secure environment for apps to run in.
Most organizations already have a tenant model in place, whether they acknowledge it or not. Different teams, departments or even organizations are consuming resources from the same pool of components you manage (your cloud/on-prem infra and services), and as a platform team, you have to decide on the most suitable way to separate those tenants across your stack, while providing them with the best development experience.
When we talk about tenancy in a platform, it typically ends up involving more than just Kubernetes resources. In this talk I will discuss and demonstrate how you can use Crossplane to define your tenancy model and unify the life-cycle management of resources across clouds and services.
Too Many CRDs? I Say Not Enough! Leveraging Crossplane & ClusterAPI for Effective Platform Delivery
Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms, but for some organizations, embracing its distributed and granular nature can easily lead to fragmented platform mayhem.
As platforms engineers tasked to automate the provisioning of infrastructure and/or services, (through IaaC, templating or custom code in pipelines) it sometimes might feel like we are just gluing components together.
Enter Crossplane, which enables you to bake your abstractions within the Kubernetes API without the need for building custom operators. Define the blueprints you need for provisioning infrastructure and the ones your developers need to deploy their services, reducing their cognitive load.
In this talk, I will discuss how you can leverage Crossplane and ClusterAPI for effective platform delivery, while minimizing the coding effort of your platform team and your developer's exposure to the Kubernetes' nitty gritty.
Are you one of those people who think there are too many CRDs? Let me challenge that!
