Incubation teams strive for agility and autonomy in their development lifecycle. From rapid coding to application deployment, these incubation teams are thinly staffed and short-lived, but they have similar application deployment needs as typical product teams. They lack the context or skills to fully comprehend the complexities of securely deploying applications. SRE teams struggle to engage with incubation teams to deploy and manage their services in a timely manner. Fortunately, advancements in Kubernetes operators allow developers to consume secrets management, certificate management, ingress management, dns management, observability etc. while still maintaining autonomy and minimal intervention from SRE teams. Presenters will discuss how their SRE team leverages these operators to create "batteries included" developer environments to support multiple incubation teams. Presenters will also describe strategies for automating an end-to-end CI/CD system that simplifies application deployment for developers while minimizing impact to their autonomy and application security.
