Centralizing Kubernetes and Container Operations
summary
A concrete operations layer emerges: a central control plane built from open source pieces (Prometheus, Elasticsearch, Grafana, registry and snapshot tooling) plus an agent/broker to centralize logs and metrics. Implementation shows pain points — Prometheus scaling limit ~5–10 clusters as configs and scrape jobs explode — and needs an identity broker such as Keycloak identity broker, snapshot-based DR for persistent volumes, and cluster portability. The prototype runs and helps Day‑2 tasks but requires extra glue and operational tuning.
