Building an Enterprise Infrastructure Control Plane on Kubernetes

Explore the process of building a Kubernetes-based enterprise infrastructure control plane in this comprehensive tutorial. Learn how to standardize infrastructure management using the Kubernetes API, focusing on creating controllers with the crossplane-runtime library. Discover techniques for modeling resources such as virtual machines and databases as Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), sharing reconciler logic across controllers, and converting imperative API calls into declaratively managed Kubernetes objects. Gain practical insights from Mastercard's experience in developing a cohesive service catalog based on Kubernetes CRDs. By the end of this 1-hour 19-minute session, acquire the skills to create a functioning controller and the foundational knowledge to develop your own enterprise control plane. Ensure you have Git, Go, and Docker installed before participating in this hands-on tutorial presented by Daniel Mangum from Upbound and Steven Borrelli from Mastercard.
