The recent constraints on businesses have pushed organizations to accelerate their plans for moving operations to the digital world—often shrinking timelines from years to months to weeks. Microservices architecture (MSA) is critical to accomplish fast innovation, and the APIs exposed from microservices should be secured, managed, observed, and monetized. All these steps require significant time.
Kubernetes is designed for automation. The Operator pattern captures how you can write code and extend the Kubernetes cluster to automate a task beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities. In this session, Lakmal will demonstrate and share his experience of automating microservice to API by introducing a Kubernetes Operator that works together with an API Management system while enhancing the developer experience.
