Overview
This webinar explores how k0rdent, an open source Distributed Container Management Environment (DCME) created by Mirantis, provides Kubernetes-native platform engineering for multi-cluster management. Hosted by Prithvi Raj and Bharath Nallapeta from Mirantis, discover strategies to break free from vendor lock-in, simplify Kubernetes management at enterprise scale, optimize DevOps workflows, and seamlessly integrate with existing tools. Learn about k0rdent's architecture, how it compares to Cluster API (CAPI), and its application for Internal Developer Platforms (IDP). The 48-minute session includes a practical demonstration of getting started with k0rdent and covers common platform engineering challenges, multi-cluster Kubernetes challenges, and how this 100% open source solution can reduce deployment times and operational overhead while providing greater enterprise agility.
