Alberto Morgante - Automated Baremetal deployment with CAPI + ClusterClass - X-OPS Conference 25

As Kubernetes adoption grows beyond the cloud into data centers and edge environments, provisioning clusters on bare metal becomes increasingly crucial. However, deploying and managing these environments at scale remains a complex challenge. This session will explore how Cluster API (CAPI) combined with ClusterClass can be leveraged to fully automate the lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters on bare metal infrastructure. Attendees will learn how to eliminate manual provisioning, enforce cluster consistency, and reduce operational toil using modern GitOps-driven workflows. We'll walk through a real-world, end-to-end implementation that includes: Setting up a CAPI provider for bare metal (e.g., Metal3) Using ClusterClass to define standardized cluster templates Integrating with Ironic for node provisioning Automating updates, scaling, and lifecycle management Best practices for security, HA, and extensibility in bare metal scenarios Whether you're operating edge clusters, hybrid environments, or building your own metal cloud, this talk will give you the tools to make bare metal Kubernetes feel as dynamic and elastic as the cloud.
