K8s: The Architecture of Digital Operational Resilience compliant with DORA
summary
How Kubernetes can act as a single control plane for a whole data center by using Operators that reconcile external VMs and cloud provider APIs to expose declarative infrastructure, RBAC and unified audit logs. Demonstrations include GitOps with Argo CD or Flux, policy enforcement with Kuberno and OPA, and event-driven ticketing from operator events; operators provide status fields for a live CMDB, support automated failover and chaos testing, and are mapped to DORA requirements ahead of the 17 January compliance deadline.
