Tutorial: Exploring Multi-Tenant Kubernetes APIs and Controllers With Kcp
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-04-02· at 11:15· Level 1 | Hall Entrance N11·
summary
Hands-on walkthrough that proves KCP can expose cluster APIs as a multi-tenant DBaaS: attendees run KCP locally, use GitHub Codespaces, create hierarchical KCP workspaces, publish a cowboy-style API via API exports and bindings, and sync real CloudNativePG Postgres instances into a kind provider cluster with an API sync agent. Workshop scripts and kubectl plugins automate most steps; the demo mostly succeeds but needs a restart during live debugging and the session runs long.
