We will examine various aspects of everyday software development and integrate different tools across the K8s ecosystem to offload the management of nearly everything to our universal control plane. This setup is envisioning a world where absolutely everything, your microservices, cloud infrastructure and everything else exists as a Kubernetes resource and is managed through GitOps principles. ## Speaker ### [Niklas S](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@niklas-s) NTT DATA, Cloud Solution Architect ## Related talks at this congress - [Startup Presentation: Achieving True Developer Self-Service in Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/338-startup-presentation) — Jan Lepsky - [Scaling Observability: Harnessing the Power of Operators in Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2024/sessions/188-scaling) — Christoph Müllner - [Who needs Kubernetes?
