I am excited to be joining this! I am really looking forward to allocated the time to sit down & think through this space intentionally rather than in the act of "getting something done". Someone as experienced/thoughtful as @thepete.net as the facilitator means it will be a high value use of time!

Evolving Beyond Terraform: Modernizing Infrastructure-as-Code with Kratix andΒ Crossplane Terraform has long been the standard for Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), enabling teams to provision and manage infrastructure efficiently. However, as development workflows evolve, Terraform's infrastructure-centric approach can create bottlenecks, limiting developer self-service and slowing innovation. The article explores how Kratix and Crossplane offer a modern alternative by introducing a platform-oriented IaC strategy. Kratix enables the creation of reusable infrastructure templates called Promises, ensuring consistency and security without requiring manual configuration updates.

How Kratix Simplifies NGINX Rate Limiting inΒ Kubernetes Too much traffic can crash your app. Platform engineers often use NGINX Ingress Controllers to manage traffic, but scaling configurations across environments can be complex. Kratix, an open-source platform framework, automates NGINX deployments with built-in rate limiting, ensuring consistent policies across Kubernetes clusters.

Kratix | The Open-source Platform Engineering Framework Kratix is the open-source platform framework that combines the flexibility and customisability of building your platform from scratch with the on-demand and self-service power of public clouds.

People see a need to not just have a platform, but engineer their own platform and that is why Kratix.io is taking off. Come meet the amazing team behind the platform framework at @syntasso.io booth S641 and figure out how to make platform engineering high leverage for your organisation!

This week marks a really big one for me, after getting a very big surprise acceptance to KubeCon NA Detroit back in 2022 I have had the pleasure of attending each of the EU and NA events.

This is part joke, but part admiration for the amazing humans who create a 5 days long @cncf.io festival of sorts where people come together across different types of events with different personalities to create community over bubble teas, karaoke songs, tech fails, personal wins, and so much more.

And yes, I have started talking about @rejekts.io 1 and 2 as KubeCon day -2 and -1, Co-located days as Day 0 (gotta techie amiright??) and then the three core days.
