Imagine building a secure, scalable platform as your organization's backbone—meeting PCI compliance while optimizing for efficiency. Let's explore crafting such a platform using self-managed Kubernetes, with lessons learned, a blueprint for technologies and practices that you can apply to your own environment.
GitOps and Zero Trust are our guiding principles. ArgoCD helps us automate, ensure consistency, and deliver traceable, auditable changes, enabling speed without compromising stability.
To manage Kubernetes' self-hosted complexity, we leverage tools like Crossplane and Cluster API (CAPI), enabling declarative management of clusters and resources with SDLC best practices that align workflows with PCI standards. We balance responsibilities between platform engineering and tenants, fostering collaboration and ease of use without sacrificing security. Join us and explore this path to a compliant, efficient, and trusted platform – it is possible to enjoy compliance!
