Capabilities, APIs, and Experiences - Blueprints To Build Interoperable Platforms

Explore how to build interoperable cloud native platforms by examining the evolution beyond Kubernetes' unified APIs. Learn about the challenges facing the vibrant ecosystem of tools designed to add capabilities on top of clusters, which often lack unification and interoperability, leading to organizational platform rigidity that reduces iteration speed and extends technology adoption timeframes. Discover existing blueprints that combine different projects to construct effective platforms, and examine three critical aspects: platform capabilities, platform APIs, and user experiences that enable cloud-native projects to deliver consistent experiences for platform teams. Understand how to mix and match tools strategically to add capabilities to platforms while maintaining flexibility and interoperability. Gain insights into contributing to ecosystem-wide consistency, benefiting both end-user platforms and the broader cloud native community's collaborative development efforts.
