You might think that Kubernetes is a tool to manage containers. Well, it is, but it is so much more! At the heart of Kubernetes lies a powerful control plane which can be extended to achieve (almost) anything! Using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) we can manage any digital system, and even extend into the physical realm.

The goal of this talk is to provide a foundational understanding of how Kubernetes works, and give a mental scaffold for further learning. We do this through an exploration of Kubernetes' core concepts - making this an ideal session for those who want to deepen their understanding of Kubernetes and explore its potential.
