Cluster API has transformed Kubernetes cluster management with its focus on extensibility. Its open architecture allows cloud providers to create tailored solutions for their needs. In this session, we will share our experience developing a Cluster API provider for Huawei Cloud, highlighting how its design philosophy has opened new avenues for organizations wanting customized Kubernetes environments.

We will discuss the unique operational challenges of managing clusters at scale and demonstrate how Cluster API's flexibility supports the integration of various infrastructure providers and custom enhancements. Join us for insights on best practices for extending Cluster API, including custom controllers, third-party tool integration, and bespoke workflows.
