Lightning Talk: Gain Platform Superpowers with the KEBAP Stack! - Engin Diri, Pulumi
Kelsey Hightower once wrote that Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms, and I couldn't agree more. Since then, there has been significant evolution in this domain. A key insight is that Kubernetes is still too complex for just anyone within an organization. Its low level of abstraction leads to a high cognitive load for users. Welcome to the KEBAP stack, a composable Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) comprised of four open-source tools that form the layers of this IDP: (K)ubernetes, (E)xternal Secrets Operator, (B)ackstage, (A)rgo CD, and (P)ulumi. The KEBAP stack adheres to GitOps principles, a cornerstone of a robust, secure, and scalable IDP. Each layer of the KEBAP stack unlocks unique capabilities within your IDP by meeting the requirements of GitOps implementation, offering the flexibility to add more tools as you advance on your IDP journey. This session will not only provide a high-level overview of the KEBAP stack but will also demo the KEBAP stack.
