Managing platform engineering across multiple Kubernetes clusters can quickly become a tangle of charts, infrastructure modules, and GitOps configuration. Kubara (an open source project) simplifies this challenge by introducing a dedicated package manager to the ecosystem: It can bundle all those pieces into a single reusable OCI artifact called a catalog. kubara uses it to generate reproducible manifests, scripts, modules and can bootstrap a clusters in minutes with Argo CD for GitOps reconciliation.
Join us for an interactive, hands-on workshop where you will explore kubara’s approach to scalable platform management and put it into practice on your own machine.
Agenda
● Part 1: Environment Setup We will guide everyone through the initial workspace configuration to ensure a smooth setup.
● Part 2: Platform Engineering & kubara Overview We'll give you a short introduction to the engineering challenge of platform building and how kubara's approach works.
● Part 3: Hands-On Experience Your turn to take the wheel! Set up kubara locally on your laptop, and experience rapid Kubernetes Platform bootstrapping firsthand.
Prerequisites & Requirements
To participate in the practical exercises, please bring a laptop running macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2) with Docker pre-installed and running.
No prior kubara experience required - just bring your laptop, curiosity, and enthusiasm! :)
