Harmonizing Your Platform Domain With Kubernetes and Custom Resource Definitions

Learn how to harmonize your platform domain by leveraging Kubernetes and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in this 30-minute conference talk from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Explore the challenges organizations face when managing multiple platforms, including internal developer platforms and SaaS providers, and discover how this fragmentation creates obstacles for developers and SREs navigating disparate systems. Understand how CRDs enable you to extend the Kubernetes API to define and manage custom objects that represent your specific platform domain concepts. Examine the benefits of this approach, including streamlined developer workflows and increased platform adoption, while addressing potential challenges such as API exposure and operator sprawl. Gain practical strategies for overcoming these obstacles and develop a clear understanding of how to create a cohesive and harmonious platform domain using Kubernetes and CRDs.
