Water is a Driving Force of Innovation: Open Source in the Dutch Government!
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 · on Friday, 2021-10-15· at 16:30· Petree Hall D + Online·
summary
Description of a government cloud-native platform that runs Dutch water and shipping systems using Kubernetes plus tooling like Kubespray, Terraform and Ansible for provisioning, Harbor/GitLab/Argo CD for CI/CD, Velero for backups, Prometheus/Grafana/ELK for telemetry, RabbitMQ/Redis and a Postgres operator for data. Claims: platform is multi‑cloud/hybrid, automated deployments and smoke tests catch regressions, and a public flood app scales from one container to 16x under real load. Lessons: monitor blind spots, automate repeats, and align teams.
