Platform Reality Has a Surprising Amount of Detail
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit China 2023 · on Wednesday, 2023-09-27· at 11:50· 3层 302会议室| 3F Room 302·
summary
Platform teams face exponential backlogs and limited staff and the talk shows concrete ways to refocus on enabling developers using Jobs-to-be-Done and user journey mapping. A concrete rollout pipeline uses Flux + Flagger + Gateway API with a service mesh, Prometheus for metrics, Cosign for signing and OPA/Gatekeeper for policies, plus Cluster API and an OCI registry like Harbor. The surprising claim is that integration across these community standards, not new bespoke tools, delivers usable developer capabilities.
