May the Control Plane be with you: Kamaji and the rise of Kubernetes at scale

This talk introduces Kamaji, an open source project that transforms Kubernetes into a Control Plane-as-a-Service for easier multi-cluster management. Inspired by real-world challenges, Kamaji leverages Hosted Control Plane architecture and is now adopted globally by major companies, streamlining Kubernetes operations at scale.

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.

Software Engineer turned SRE to get paged in the middle of the night for Kubernetes multi-cluster setups and thousands of worker nodes on bare-metal: been there, done that.
