Workshop
Scalable Kubernetes with Hosted Control Planes and Immutable Nodes
In this workshop, you'll learn how to deploy Kubernetes clusters using the Hosted Control Plane (HCP) architecture combined with immutable worker nodes, a powerful approach that enhances scalability, reduces control plane resource usage, and strengthens your platform's security posture.
We'll explore how to achieve this architecture using two CNCF projects:
- Kamaji, to manage lightweight, multi-tenant hosted control planes.
- Kairos, to build and manage secure, immutable nodes that are GitOps-ready by design.
Through hands-on work, you'll learn how to generate Kairos artifacts using a web-based UI, configure them to automatically join tenant clusters managed by Kamaji, and lay the foundation for scalable, reproducible Kubernetes infrastructure — from core to edge.
