Keynote: Kubernetes as a Foundational Layer of Infrastructure
summary
Kubernetes serves as the foundational layer at Lyft to unify microservices, batch jobs and ML workloads while keeping complexity down. The company runs 300 microservices on 40,000 EC2 instances and recently crossed 1 billion rides, so migration must be gradual and measurable. Engineering adds Envoy sidecars, Prometheus for SLOs, and an open source overlay‑free CNI so pods get first‑class IPs and join the Envoy mesh; routing and distributed tracing work across legacy and k8s, and production traffic runs hybrid while crews ramp services per request.
