Summary of Kubernetes as a Platform for building Platforms | Talk of Mario-Leander Reimer @ Container Days 2021

00:00:00 - 00:30:00

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for automating the development and deployment of cloud-native applications. In this talk, Mario-Leander Reimer discusses some of the features of Kubernetes that make it an ideal platform for building custom platforms for other teams. These features include the admission controllers, which allow for increased security and governance of deployments, and the operators, which automate the process of handling custom resources.

• 00:00:00 Kubernetes is a platform that can be used to build custom extensions and automation, as well as complete cloud native software delivery platforms.
• 00:05:00 Kubernetes is a platform that can be used to build platforms for other teams, to reduce cognitive load for those teams, and to standardize and provide self-service capabilities for devops teams.
• 00:10:00 Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms, and it can be used to automate many common DevOps tasks. This talk discusses some of the features of the Kubernetes platform and how to use it to simplify development and operation of cloud-native applications.
• 00:15:00 Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms, and it provides a variety of programming interfaces for interacting with its API. This allows for a variety of automation possibilities.
• 00:20:00 Kubernetes admission controllers allow for increased security and governance of cluster deployments. Admission controllers include mutating and validating admission webhooks, which allow for the application or enforcement of best practices on a configuration level.
• 00:25:00 Kubernetes is a powerful platform for building platforms, and one of its features is its operators. Operators automate the process of handling custom resources, enabling zero-ops infrastructure and applications.
• 00:30:00 The talk presented how the operator framework makes it easy to programmatically control Kubernetes resources, including custom automation logic.
