Production-Ready Platform Engineering: From Conception To Build To FAIL
How much hype is there around Platform Engineering? A lot.
Overall, the idea of Platform Engineering isn’t new, but what's new is the path it's taking.
Because of that, we need a production-ready approach to get Platform Engineering right without creating more tech debt.
In this session, you’ll learn from theory to hands-on how to create a proper platform. It will contain:
1. The underlying platform (Kubernetes)
2. Platform capabilities (various open-source tools from monitoring and observability to GitOps and more)
3. Platform interaction/interface (how engineers using the platform that Platform Engineers create for them interact with it)
First, we'll talk about the various details that all engineers will need to know to create and configure a proper, production-ready Kubernetes cluster that works with Platform Engineering.
Next, we'll dive into the capabilities that will exist on the Kubernetes cluster in the Platform Engineering environment. These capabilities can be anything from GitOps to monitoring to cost and resource optimization. It all depends on what the engineers need (the engineers using the platform)
Lastly, you'll learn how an end-user (the engineer using a Platform Engineering environment) can interact with it. Is it an IDP? A CLI? Another automated solution?
You’ll see everything from Kubernetes to Crossplane to Backstage and everything in between. You’ll also learn how to think about Platform Engineering as a whole when it comes to using Kubernetes as your underlying platform.
