Building a Controller Manager for Your Cloud Platform

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Cloud Controller Manager (CCM) is the Beta out‑of‑tree way to replace in‑tree cloud drivers and the goal is to move all providers out of core by end of 2019; build one by implementing the Go cloud provider interface, copying the CCM main, and shipping a separate binary container that runs as a DaemonSet or static pod. Testing requires unit tests plus e2e against a real cloud (OpenStack uses gophercloud and devstack, vSphere shares credentials with CSI), watch for the no-schedule taint and API rate‑limit chatty behavior.
