Explore dynamic configuration techniques for Kubernetes controllers in this 35-minute conference talk from KubeCon. Dive into ComponentConfig patterns, combining them with Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to enable self-reconfiguring controllers. Learn how to leverage Kubernetes API machinery for loading configuration files that resemble Kubernetes resources. Discover the benefits of this approach, including simplified controller management for end-users and improved status reporting for easier debugging. Gain insights into Kubernetes-style APIs, YAML versioning, command-line flags, and CRD conversions through webhooks. Examine practical examples and understand how to implement dynamic configurations with custom resources in your own Kubernetes projects.
