In this episode
At conception, Kubeapps was created as a Kubernetes application dashboard designed with the only packaging format of the time in mind: Helm charts. As the Kubernetes landscape for packages has grown, we needed an extensible way to expand Kubeapps to support new packaging formats such as declarative Flux resources, Carvel bundles and other future packaging formats. In this session you’ll learn about current technical limitations and how the team is overcoming them by designing a plugins-based, extensible, clear API boundary.
