From Kubernetes to Chaos Mesh: How CNCF Projects Redefine Platform Resilience

This conference talk explores how platform engineering is evolving with resilience becoming a critical requirement rather than an option. Discover how CNCF projects including Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Chaos Mesh, and Pixie can be combined to build systems that are scalable, chaos-ready, and deeply observable without requiring additional instrumentation. Learn how Pixie leverages eBPF technology for real-time observability, how Chaos Mesh enables teams to proactively test for failures, and how ArgoCD transforms deployment practices. Through practical real-world examples, see how these tools work together to simplify platform operations and enhance reliability. Gain actionable insights for managing Kubernetes clusters, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and handling production incidents more effectively. The presentation by Lev Andelman, CTO at TeraSky and AWS Community Builder, provides valuable strategies for integrating these CNCF tools into your platform stack to stay ahead of complexity.
