Another great KubeCon talk from @abangser.bsky.social imploring the Kubernetes people to remember how important platforms are: they make all of his stuff usable for developers and valuable to the organizations that run it all. Without a platform, you’re just put another bottleneck in place.

I don't know what's the most amazing: - the incredible #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon co-chairs we had for this edition (they gave it such a good energy! Thanks @abangser.bsky.social & others) OR - the fact that next up to join the cycle is @boredabdel.bsky.social - no doubt he'll keep up the good vibe

This is such a great event! It is a real "connector" event where you build not just awareness but actual connections with everyone through both deep tech conversations and just fun and relaxation. Really hoping to shift some things around and be able to attend myself!

I am excited to be joining this! I am really looking forward to allocated the time to sit down & think through this space intentionally rather than in the act of "getting something done". Someone as experienced/thoughtful as @thepete.net as the facilitator means it will be a high value use of time!

Evolving Beyond Terraform: Modernizing Infrastructure-as-Code with Kratix and Crossplane
Terraform has long been the standard for Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), enabling teams to provision and manage infrastructure efficiently. However, as development workflows evolve, Terraform's infrastructure-centric approach can create bottlenecks, limiting developer self-service and slowing innovation. The article explores how Kratix and Crossplane offer a modern alternative by introducing a platform-oriented IaC strategy. Kratix enables the creation of reusable infrastructure templates called Promises, ensuring consistency and security without requiring manual configuration updates.

How Kratix Simplifies NGINX Rate Limiting in Kubernetes
Too much traffic can crash your app. Platform engineers often use NGINX Ingress Controllers to manage traffic, but scaling configurations across environments can be complex. Kratix, an open-source platform framework, automates NGINX deployments with built-in rate limiting, ensuring consistent policies across Kubernetes clusters.
