Turtles All the Way Down: Inception for Kubernetes
summary
Project Gardener demonstrates running Kubernetes control planes as regular workloads on a management cluster to manage hundreds or thousands of clusters, using standard primitives and Cluster API and machine API for declarative cluster and machine objects. It shows machine deployments (rolling OS and Kubernetes upgrades), autoscaling and self‑healing of worker pools, hibernation to cut costs, and etcd backups to object storage. Live demo shows a dashboard creating multi‑cloud and bare‑metal shoots and successful reconciliation of desired state.
