In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud-native technologies, KCP emerges as a groundbreaking project that reimagines how we build & manage platforms using Kubernetes-style APIs. While Kubernetes excels at container orchestration, KCP takes the powerful concepts of Kubernetes & extends them to solve broader platform engineering challenges.

What is KCP?

KCP is an open-source project that provides a Kubernetes-like control plane focused on application management across multiple clusters & environments. Unlike traditional Kubernetes, KCP is not primarily focused on container orchestration but rather on providing a robust platform for building control planes & managing APIs at scale.

Key characteristics of KCP includes:

  • API-first architecture
