Demystifying Why the World Is Built on Kubernetes: Learning To Leverage Bespoke CRDs and Controllers - Abby Bangser, Syntasso & Sebastien Blanc, Port

When product teams build software, they think about user personas, and Kubernetes is no different. There are three key user personas for Kubernetes: the one who runs containers (developers), the one who manages the cluster (operators) and the one who creates bespoke tooling (platform engineers). While the first two personas have a lot of resources and support, the third often appears to be a dark art that is only possible by the most courageous and advanced Kubernetes users.

What if we were to tell you the only secret to unleash this power is a single schema and a single function? Yes, even the power of graduated CNCF projects such as ArgoCD and CertManager can boil down that simple description. This talk will take a magnifying glass to how Kubernetes CRDs and controllers work so that you can build confidence in both using, and hopefully building, custom services on top of Kubernetes.
