Today, software teams frequently face significant challenges with Kubernetes operations. Developers often grapple with limited visibility, constrained independence, and restricted access to resources within Kubernetes environments. Concurrently, DevOps teams are tasked with daily support duties such as provisioning environments, monitoring usage, and managing governance across multiple clusters, which prevents them from focusing on core DevOps initiatives. These issues contribute to a poor developer experience, reduced productivity, and increased frustration within teams. This talk will delve into strategies for enabling developer self-service in Kubernetes, emphasizing how to maintain both flexibility and control over infrastructure to enhance overall efficiency and satisfaction.
