Building a Kubernetes Experimentation Platform with OpenFeature - Enabling Organizations to Put Theory Into Practice

Explore how to build a Kubernetes experimentation platform using OpenFeature in this 23-minute conference talk by Alexander Simon Jones from Canonical. Learn about the CNCF sandbox project OpenFeature and its integration with Kubernetes to enable feature flagging across workloads, controllers, and operators. Discover the potential for testing infrastructure, implementing context-based feature gating, and conducting large-scale experiments throughout the stack. Gain insights into embedding feature flagging for declarative decision-making, allowing cluster operators and engineers to create situational networking and manage failure modes. Through live demonstrations and step-by-step walkthroughs of real-world implementations, understand how this technology enables experiments and how to leverage results to enhance resilience and reduce costs in Kubernetes environments.
