Description
This talk explores the challenges of Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management in multi-tenant cloud environments and introduces the concept of 'self-managing clusters' as a solution. The presenters discuss how to productize this concept to create a Kubernetes engine that delivers clusters in a self-service manner, reducing infrastructure costs and the need for specialized administrative skills. They detail the end-to-end workflow, including cluster creation, deletion, updates, and fleet management operations, leveraging Cluster API at its core.
