Explore the concept of 'Release Engineering as a Service' and its integration with Kubernetes in this 31-minute Linux Foundation talk. Discover how two engineers tackled slow release cycles and bug reports by implementing innovative solutions. Learn about the role of release engineering teams in the Kubernetes ecosystem, effective CI/CD practices for consistent software integration, and strategies to enhance feedback cycles through automation, parallelization, and reutilization. Gain insights into various approaches to YAML management, pipeline optimization, and the challenges faced in the release engineering process. Understand the benefits of treating release engineering as a service and its impact on open-source contributions and feature delivery.
