About this talk
This talk explores the dynamics of team topologies and compositions that foster collaboration between development and operations, focusing on the role of platform teams in building internal developer platforms (IDPs) to enable self-service capabilities. The speaker examines a fictional company's vertical slice of its IDP, which utilizes the Kubernetes Resource Model as the foundational interface. The session follows a development team as it migrates its application to the IDP, discussing associated responsibilities, processes, policies, and tradeoffs. Additionally, the talk highlights various CNCF projects, including Crossplane, Tekton, ArgoCD, Kyverno, and Sigstore, emphasizing their roles and contributions within the platform architecture.
