Scaling Kubernetes Add-ons Without the Complexity

One of the most powerful aspects of Kubernetes is its extensibility. But with flexibility comes complexity. Deploying Kubernetes add-ons extend its functionality, but with most platform engineers managing and maintaining multiple clusters across different environments comes the pain. Giving a breather to platform administrators will allow them to be more productive and creative, while enabling them to perform deployments easily, quickly and reliably. From a small home lab to large-scale production environments, keeping up with Kubernetes add-ons deployment and management in a consistent, reliable, and maintainable manner can be like trying to find Nemo on the CNCF landscape. In this engaging session, we will demonstrate: - How smoothly Flux synchronises Kubernetes resources - How to use different add-on formats, including Helm charts, raw YAML/JSON highlighting the Lua language template creation for advanced deployments and logical application - How to deploy Cilium as a CNI - How to deploy Kyverno policies to clusters based on their scope as templates Attendees will learn a new, easy and creative way of deploying applications whether on-prem or in the cloud.
