OpenMCP – Enhancing the Development of a Kubernetes-Based Developer Platform
OpenMCP provides Crossplane to turn Kubernetes into a full control plane, enabling declarative infrastructure and service management through native Kubernetes APIs. This talk shows how OpenMCP simplifies the development and operation of developer platforms - without complex tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
Using real-world examples, we demonstrate how infrastructure can be deployed across cloud and on-premises environments in a consistent, scalable, and developer-friendly way.
We show how OpenMCP enables developer self-service, ensures governance and compliance through policy-driven management (e.g. Kyverno), and promotes a clear separation between platform and application teams.
It's ideal for DevOps teams, platform engineers, and Kubernetes enthusiasts looking to build efficient, secure, and scalable platforms with Crossplane.
OCM: Rethinking Software Delivery with a Secure and Standardized Approach
The Open Component Model (OCM) introduces a technology-agnostic standard for secure software delivery, functioning as a Software Bill of Delivery (SBOD) that ensures integrity and provenance across the supply chain. OCM's unique identifier system enables seamless delivery across public cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments, while integrating with GitOps tools like Flux for automated, secure deployments.
