The presentation discusses the extensible design pattern for Kubernetes controllers and the challenges and opportunities in developing them as a community.
- The extensible design pattern allows for running plugins in a separate process with a dedicated security context and the ability to add or remove plugins at any time.
- The pattern requires careful consideration of dependencies with external services and organizational implications.
- The community needs to work together to solve problems such as documenting behavioral dependencies and defining contracts for extensibility points.
- Frameworks and libraries can be developed to make implementing extensible controllers easier and more standardized.
