David Watson & Jason DeTiberus
Jason has been working on Kubernetes lifecycle management tooling for the past four years. His work currently includes helping to commoditize the lifecycle management of upstream Kubernetes through sig-cluster-lifecycle sponsored projects at VMware. Before becoming more directly involved in the upstream Kubernetes community he bootstrapped the initial Ansible-based OpenShift v3 lifecycle management tooling.
David has been a part of the Kubernetes community for over three years, focusing on scalability, reliability, and automation. At Samsung he works on enabling hybrid cloud environments and managed control planes. Previously he developed hardware monitoring and reliability services for AWS, and distributed filesystems for IBM.

Relative to cloud infrastructure, bare metal environments are more varied and do not expose a unified API. The Cluster API unifies infrastructure management with Kubernetes-native resources, but our previous attempts to use it in bare metal environments show that actuators alone have significant limitations. Kubernetes webhooks offer an alternative that separates the provisioning of Infrastructure from the deployment of Kubernetes, while keeping the declarative model and common tooling provided by the Cluster API.
