This session demonstrates how to leverage Kubernetes Controllers and Initializers as a framework for building transparent extensions of your Kubernetes cluster. Using a live coding exercise and demo, this presentation will showcase the possibilities of the basic programming paradigms the Kubernetes API server makes easy. As an SRE, learn to build custom integrations directly into the Kubernetes API that transparently enhance the developer experience.

Ross Guarino and Terin Stock, both Systems Engineers at Cloudflare, will talk about how this pattern is used extensively at Cloudflare to provide a feature-rich internal platform for their development teams.

About the Speakers:

Ross Guarino is a Systems Engineer at Cloudflare in charge of the technical direction of the internal platform. He’s determined to improve the lives of developers building and maintaining everything from a simple function to complex globally distributed systems.

Terin Stock is a long-time engineer at Cloudflare, currently working on building an internal Kubernetes cluster. By night, he hacks on building new hardware projects. Terin is also a member of gulp.js core team and the author of the Sticker Standard.
