When your platform grows beyond a few clusters, running Kubernetes at scale becomes a real challenge: operationally and financially.
This talk starts with a story, Dario, a Site Reliability Engineer who had to restore a cluster during his father's marriage, and how this led him to craft Kamaji, an Open Source project aimed to turn Kubernetes itself into a Control Plane-as-a-Service platform, redefining how multi-cluster management works.
Born from real-world pain, grown through open source collaboration, Kamaji now powers production environments across the globe by leveraging the Hosted Control Plane architecture: in this session, we'll start by understanding the anatomy of a Kubernetes cluster, dissecting this pattern, the outcome we learned by listening to the open source community, and how such a project evolved into a project adopted worldwide such as NVIDIA, Rackspace, OVH, Ionos, and many others.
