Efficiency and Innovation in Kubernetes with Hosted Control Planes (HCP)
summary
Claim: run the Kubernetes control plane as workloads in a management cluster to cut footprint and centralize upgrades. Uses k0s, cosmotron and Cluster API with a connectivity agent; demo creates a control plane in seconds as a StatefulSet with one replica and a Service exposing the API, the control plane running ~0.1 CPU. Cosmotron manages certificates, manifests and lifecycle, Cluster API provisions infrastructure providers, and upgrades happen by changing a YAML — the demo succeeds end to end.
