Platform Engineering is a term that's being thrown around the tech world as a new and popular method of implementing abstraction.

But how does it work on Kubernetes in a production scenario?

It comes down to a few topics:
- Kubernetes Operators
- Cluster API
- KubeVirt
- IDP's
- Crossplane

Operators allow you to extend the capability of Kubernetes. Cluster API gives you the ability to manage and build Kubernetes clusters WITH Kubernetes. KubeVirt makes it possible to manage VM's on Kubernetes. Crossplane extends the management of various resources outside of Kubernetes. To tie it all together, Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) gives an abstraction layer on top of complex tooling.

By tying all of the above together, you have a production-ready Kubernetes Platform Engineering environment.

Join Michael Levan, Consultant, Trainer, and Content Creator for a hands-on, engineering-focused, practitioner-led session on how to think about Platform Engineering on Kubernetes.
