Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room F

Running multi-cluster Kubernetes environments introduces significant operational complexities that challenge even skilled engineering teams. In developing Kratix, an open source platform framework to manage these complexities, we encountered technical, organisational, and strategic challenges that reshaped our approach to building reliable, customer-centric software.

As founding engineer and product manager of Kratix, we have found that while technical expertise is crucial, it often falls short in solving complex, cross-cluster issues. We learnt the importance of diverse perspectives, customer involvement, and embracing existing CNCF projects.

By sharing our successes and setbacks, we aim to equip you with a holistic approach to managing multi-cluster Kubernetes environments, fostering resilience and adaptability in an evolving technological landscape.
