Collaboratively Building App Manifests at Scale in Complex Organizations

Explore how to collaboratively build application manifests at scale in complex organizations in this conference talk. Learn about the challenges of deploying complex applications across multiple teams and clusters, and discover how Configuration-as-Data (CaD) concepts are utilized in the Nephio project to enable distributed, collaborative editing of application configuration. Gain insights into decoupling the configuration process within organizations, empowering different departments to control and automate their specific parts of the configuration. Understand the use of open-source kpt suite of CaD tools to simplify and enhance the app delivery process. Delve into topics such as the Telco landscape, specialization versus generalization, high-level architecture, and organizational complexities. Discover practical solutions for managing "values" across thousands of clusters and streamlining application deployment in complex environments.
