K8s Complexity Tamed: One Interface To Rule Them All With CNCF Incubat...
summary
Guidewire shows a production platform running on hundreds of clusters and 84,000 Kubernetes services and claims developers typically juggle four to seven tools and spend 6–15 hours weekly per service. They build an opinionated platform using KubeVela (OAM), Crossplane/ACK/KCC for cloud provisioning, and Backstage templates so a six-line KubeVela application declares an S3/GCS bucket once and the team can swap Crossplane→ACK→KCC without changing app YAML; demo creates and deletes cloud buckets end-to-end.
