Open Source Summit North America 2018

Kubernetes has become a hot topic in the computing space. There's been lots of talk about spinning up clusters, developer tooling, and monitoring. Applications from large to small are now taking advantage of the ecosystem.

One thing that hasn't changed is how we deliver software to production. Development and operations teams hold their continuous delivery (CD) software close to their chest. It's hard to find good software, harder to get it dialed in for one project, and sometimes an epic effort to get it working across an organization.

With Kubernetes, a platform for platforms, you get all the raw building blocks for creating a delivery platform right out of the box. This talk will walk through the steps for designing a delivery system out of Kubernetes components. We'll start with extracting the problem, and move to identifying the components of the build system. Next, the audience members will be introduced to all the parts of this hypothetical delivery system, and they will leave the talk with ideas of how to employ the process in their organizations and opportunities for extension.

This talk is an introduction to building applications with Kubernetes instead of on Kubernetes. This content will serve as an introduction to Custom Resources, controllers, and RBAC. It will combine that base with a practical example of moving software to production in an automated fashion.
