CNCF Cross-Cloud CI Deep Dive

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Cross-cloud provisioner deploys vanilla Kubernetes onto public clouds, private OpenStack and bare metal using Terraform and cloud-init, rendering provider-agnostic templates and DNS/TLS records so clusters are reproducible artifacts. CI compiles Kubernetes from source, packages images, provisions VMs, and can run conformance and app tests (Prometheus, own app); clusters aim to come up in 2–3 minutes. Project supports AWS Azure GCE GKE IBM OpenStack Packet today, focuses on ephemeral test clusters, and does not run automated upgrade-conformance testing for long-lived production clusters.
