As cloud-native systems scale, managing application features dynamically without disrupting services is a cornerstone of modern software delivery. In this talk, we'll delve into the integration of Kubernetes with OpenFeature, a powerful open standard for feature flag management, to bridge application logic with infrastructure orchestration.

The session will explore Kubernetes-native resources like ConfigMaps, Secrets, and external flag services to store and manage feature configs, enabling real-time toggling without service restarts. Combined with Kubernetes' rolling updates, it ensures rapid recovery from critical issues, safeguarding system stability. This integration redefines how developers roll out features, offering unprecedented control for A/B testing, and canary deployments.

By combining K8s' orchestration power and OpenFeature’s runtime control, this approach not only redefines feature management but also aligns with the future of scalable, adaptive cloud-native ecosystems.
