KRO, ACK, and Karpenter — Jason Deal on the three emerging Kubernetes tools worth keeping an eye on 📺: https://ku.bz/1_-DTgLsg
"Hi, my name is Jason and this is kubefm. What three emerging Kubernetes tools are you keeping an eye on? Yeah, so I guess the two that come to mind and kind of come as a package deal, or can be packaged together really nicely, are Qrow and ACK. So Qrow is the Kubernetes resource orchestrator. So it's a tool that started here at AWS. And the way that I've described it to some people who are unfamiliar with it is it is almost a declarative way of writing an operator, though it can do way more than that. So it allows you to do these very complex automations based on custom resources in your Kubernetes cluster using the same tooling you're familiar with for pretty much everything else Kubernetes. And I think that pairs really nicely with ACK, which is the AWS controllers for Kubernetes, which allow you to use these building blocks for AWS primitives combined with the automations that Qrow enable to do very complex like infrastructure automation. And then the other one that's not so emerging, but is something I'm definitely keeping an eye on because I work on it a lot is Carpenter. And so we recently graduated to V1, I think a little over a year ago. But even after that graduation, there's still a lot of ongoing work going. Some of the interesting things that have happened lately have been additions to make custom hardware for certain accelerated workloads easier to use with autoscaling. And also prioritize reserved capacity."
