SUMMARY:The Launch Party's Over. Now What? A Guide to Real-World Ops with Crossplane & ACK
DESCRIPTION:The future of platform engineering is a single, unified control plane, where Kubernetes-native tools like Crossplane and ACK manage both applications and infrastructure through one consistent GitOps workflow. However, the path from this powerful vision to a stable, production-ready reality presents a new class of "Day 2" operational challenges. After the initial launch party, teams face a fundamentally different operational model where the familiar safety nets of traditional IaC no longer exist, and the rules for managing risk have completely changed.A common engineering incident begins not with a bang, but with a small commit—a typo that a traditional, Terraform plan would have caught instantly, but in the new "plan-less" world, it gets silently reconciled, leading to cascading failures. This session moves beyond the "hello world" to dissect these widespread failure patterns, exploring the architectural anti-patterns that emerge and presenting a playbook of field-tested solutions for operating declarative, continuously-reconciling systems at scale.This is not a theoretical guide; it is a tour of hard-won lessons from the community. Attendees will leave with a playbook for solving the most critical "Day 2" challenges, learning: a GitOps-native pre-flight check pattern; how to build a 'developer-portal dashboards for allowing developers to use it safely and a step-by-step strategy for safely migrating brownfield resources without downtime.
