Cluster API - Making Kubernetes easy to work with

In less than a generation, we’ve gone from bare-metal servers to virtualization to containers. It’s a story of expanded possibilities aided by stakeholder communities coming together to solve problems. Over time, processes have become easier and more efficient for end users. We’ve learned to orchestrate containers with Kubernetes, and we can now manage Kubernetes clusters and their associated infrastructure needs across multiple cloud providers (and hopefully on-premises) with Cluster API.

Cluster API declaratively manages the lifecycle of clusters (create, scale, upgrade, and delete). By making use of the structured nature of Kubernetes APIs, it becomes possible to build higher-level cloud agnostic tools that allow for greater ease of use and more sophisticated automation.

Join this webinar to learn about Cluster API, how it works, the current state of it, and why it's crucial for the future of Kubernetes.
