StackSets: Simplifying application management in Kubernetes - Scale Up 360°

y default Kubernetes provides a set of resources for simple application lifecycle management in the form of services, deployments and ingresses. While powerful concepts on their own, they are fairly low level and doesn’t provide more advanced features like blue/green deployments, traffic switching or fully automated application lifecycle. When introducing Kubernetes to the 100s of delivery teams at Zalando it became clear that there were a need for a higher level abstraction for describing applications to solve these problems and this let to a concept called “StackSets”. The talk will focus on the design of the “StackSet” concept and include a live demo showcasing the features.
