Pulumi's Crosswalk for Kubernetes is a collection of playbooks and libraries designed to simplify the configuration, deployment, and management of Kubernetes in production environments. As Kubernetes becomes the standard platform for containerized applications, its complexity poses significant challenges, often leading to misconfigurations and production outages. Crosswalk for Kubernetes aims to address these challenges by offering structured guidance on identity management, managed infrastructure, cluster configuration, and application services, leveraging managed services from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The approach is organized into six distinct playbooks that address various aspects of Kubernetes deployment, from establishing secure identities and roles to configuring networking and storage infrastructure and deploying applications with continuous integration and delivery systems. By utilizing infrastructure as code, Crosswalk for Kubernetes reduces boilerplate code and enhances productivity, making Kubernetes more accessible to teams with varying levels of expertise. The guide provides comprehensive examples and instructions, supporting a wide range of cloud providers and encouraging the adoption of best practices in Kubernetes management.
