TK8 - The Kubernaut Behind the Scenes

Abstract:

There are many great Kubernetes distributions and installers, some of them are enterprise grade like Kops, OpenShift (OCP, OCE or OKD), Rancher RKE or fully managed like AKS, EKS, GKE, etc., others are more for fun and rapid deployment for on-prem or public cloud environments. But what if you want to build your own installer and create your own "tailored" distro? With the rise of Kubeadm and Kubespray, many distros and installers have been developed in the wild to use them to build custom installers, one of them is TK8.

In this session the main developers of TK8 provide a deep look behind the scenes of TK8 and TK8 Web and how you can build your own installer with a clean REST Interface and use it in your organization to provide KaaS and build your own Service Catalog and add-ons.
