Summary
Maximilian Techritz and Johannes Ott detailed at KubeCon Europe how their enterprise built a European cloud orchestration platform using a Kubernetes Control Plane approach with Crossplane, External Secrets Operator, Kyverno, and Flux. Rather than building another tool, they unified management of GCP, AWS, and Azure resources via declarative configuration and GitOps. Adoption was driven through monthly tech talks and inner-source collaboration, reducing the cognitive load on engineers managing disparate toolchains.
