Watch Marvin & Mirza's talk at ContainerDays 2025
The open source ApeiroRA project, part of the EU initiative IPCEI-CIS, is a reference architecture for building a multi-provider cloud-edge continuum that should span the European continent. Some of the central questions the project wants to answer are: How can the different service offerings across a wide array of providers be unified? How can they communicate in a common language?
We discuss how a combination of Cloud Native building blocks (kcp and kube-bind, among others) is used to create the foundation for the next generation of cloud platforms. We demonstrate a prototype which meshes together Kubernetes-like APIs that allows us to consume services across multiple control plane instances, instantiating what we call the “Platform Mesh”.
This talk is for operators of cloud service providers and internal developer platforms (IDPs), giving them an outlook at a technology that unifies both worlds and creates a standard to consume services from (nearly) everywhere.
Speakers: Mirza Kopic & Marvin Beckers
