About
In this hands-on platform engineering workshop during KubeCon Salt Lake City you will build a small managed Kubernetes platform on your laptop: a management cluster hosting tenant control planes, workers joining from outside, the network plumbing between them and how to manage your custom addons.
We'll explore:
How a hosted control plane works: apiserver, controller-manager, scheduler and etcd as Pods in a management cluster.
The network paths that make or break it: node to apiserver and apiserver to kubelet (why kubectl logs fails until a tunnel is in place).
How to distribute your custom addons for the tenant Clusters.
Operating it: how to safely deploy upgrades without disrupting the Control Plane, how to manage Nodes with Cluster API and how to observe your infrastructure.
Your hosts
Bring your laptop. This is a hands-on session with limited seats, so register early to save your spot.
