Keynote: Kubernetes Secret Superpower
summary
Kubernetes now supports building controllers outside core using extension points like the API aggregation layer and CRDs, and a demo shows MetaController deployed as a CRD that runs off-cluster and rolls out like any deployment. A reimplementation called CatSet reproduces StatefulSet behavior and adds one service per pod, implemented in about 100 lines of JavaScript versus ~3,000 lines and 24 files for the original; proves custom automation ships without core changes.
