● “Kubernetes is complex, and organizationally we don’t have the knowledge or resources
to leverage the solutions it offers to their full potential.”
● “We currently have some Kubernetes infrastructure and workloads in place, but don’t
know how to operationalize and optimize our processes and tooling around open source
CNCF technologies.”
● “We are using Kubernetes to run our workloads, but don’t have any automation to
support increased deployment frequency and reduce developer friction.”
● “Sharing access to our clusters securely within our organization, or with external parties
can be cumbersome and expose security concerns.”

Tangible Outcomes – Lens Spaces
● Lens Spaces allows us to share clusters securely, both internally and externally
without giving out the kube config file.
● RBAC Roles can be defined for granular permissions across Kubernetes resources.
● Roles are inherited by the cluster, so a role defined in Spaces can be configured
within the cluster. (uses Kubernetes User Impersonation under the hood)

Note: Reconciliation happens automatically,
the above command is just for visibility and
demonstration purposes. The reconciliation
interval can be decreased or increased as
desired, and suspended for testing or
incident management.

Tangible Outcomes – GitOps Deployments
Fully automated container build and push based off single git commit
