Kubernetes - The Universal Control Plane
summary
Argues that a Universal Control Plane (UCP) is practical today using Crossplane for cloud-API provisioning and kcp for multi-tenant kcp workspaces and Crossplane providers, demonstrating resource syncing via a sinker agent to push CRs into physical clusters and placement/failover strategies across regions. Claims Kubernetes scale (conformance up to 5,000 nodes) and highlights upcoming kube-apiserver refactor into a generic control plane (targeted in future releases ~1.30) to make custom API servers easier.
