Episode Synopsis
Episode 0016 - Control All the Things! 🛩️ In this episode, Carl and Brandon dive into the world of control planes, starting with what they are and how they differ from other planes you may see in your solutions and the providers they run on. They chat about the balance between automation and manual operations, and share examples from popular cloud services and technologies like Kubernetes, AWS, and Azure. Then, they explore the key functions of a control plane, such as resource management, policy enforcement, and tenant, security, monitoring, and configuration management. Carl and Brandon also take a closer look at control planes in Kubernetes, explaining the roles of components like the API server, etcd, controller manager, and scheduler, and how they work together to manage clusters. Finally, they discuss the challenges and benefits of deploying and managing control planes across multiple cloud providers, and share best practices for keeping things consistent in multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
