Thanks to everyone who could make it this week!
We had some growing pains with the video setup, which we'll try to iron out in the future. Thanks to @mdelder for recording ❤️

Discssion topics:
kcp is a prototype to experiment on what it would take to build a minimal API server, to help motivate our upstream changes/improvements to K8s
Review of areas of investigation:
- transparent multicluster
- logical clusters
- minimal API server for non-K8s infrastructure
- meta: how we can improve K8s along the way
@2uasimojo: Syncer makes kcp like "Hive"
- define a thing at a high level, have it synced down to real clusters
- kcp can potentially learn a lot from Hive
- and from Open Cluster Manager (OCM)
@hasheddan: Crossplane does things like this
- not just static controllers: controllers can be spun up as providers are installed, dynamically
- controller framework to build systems across a spectrum
@smarterclayton: Kube is not meant to be reusable
- it tries, but it's not complete
@imjasonh: Where/how to run controllers against the kcp?
- in K8s, they run as Pods in the cluster
- in kcp, other options emerge:
- kcp as a library you bundle with your controller(s) to run together
- external controllers running remotely (or many separate processes running locally)
@hasheddan: operator-facing APIs vs user-facing APIs
- sqlite model; sqlite can be embedded, run separately locally, run remotely as a server you connect to
@smarterclayton: reaching the limits of K8s API scalability
- reaching beyond 100k+ objects, 1M config objects
- maybe blurring the lines of code and config?
- how would you write controllers for 1B keys anyway?
@imjasonh: swapping out etcd is a non-goal for us, but others in the community are working on it
@mdelder: are we biased toward managing K8s infrastructure?
- yes; easier self-service clusters is a goal of logical clusters
- is kcp a foundation to build my app on? no; not a good fit for storing app data
@2uasimojo: kcp shouldn't get in your way?
@imjasonh: kcp is not intended to be an arbitrary mobile app backend
- it should be flexible though, and we can't stop you from using it for anything
- but it's intent and its scaling focus is on reconciling infrastructure, not arbitrary data use cases
@smarterclayton: K8s' API model is good at a few things:
- declarative API
- reconcile loops
- distritbuted systems
- ... if you have 2/3 of these, kcp should be good; if not, maybe not?
- is K8s a good datastore for identity systems? probably not (too many objects)
Please let me know if I missed anything or if you have topics you'd like to discuss next week!
