Evolving Platform Primitives: Beautiful Platforms With Kro - Jakob Möller & Adam Crowder
Kro Kube Resource Orchestrator Kubernetes Platform Engineering Cncf Cloud Native Platform Primitives Self Service Api Kubecon Kubernetes Operators Platform Abstractions Infrastructure As Code
This session demonstrates how to build platforms using kro (Kube Resource Orchestrator), a CNCF project that enables teams to define composable primitives as self-service APIs. Platform engineers will learn to author APIs that automatically handle Kubernetes resource dependency ordering, dynamic wiring, and status rollup, replacing ad-hoc templating and custom controllers with a structured approach to platform abstraction.
