Level 1 | Hall Entrances S8 - S9, N8 - N9

At Bloomberg, we maintain a cloud-native container orchestration platform for general utility compute. This internal service offering has seen rapid growth, which imposes challenges related to the reliability of resource submission and post-deployment status tracking.

Creating resources in a cluster is easy. Developers could build an API that performs resource creation against the Kubernetes API server. However, it gets complicated if and when the API needs to support large volumes of resource creation requests in multiple clusters.

In this talk, we will explore our current implementation of resource submission and bookkeeping, which utilizes in-cluster pull agents and source-of-truth. We will then compare this to our proposed solution, which involves a highly available PostgreSQL database, a Kubernetes resource watcher, and Apache Kafka. We will conclude our talk with a proposed design that allows for more reliable resource submission and post-deployment status tracking.
