CNCF-hosted Co-located Events North America 2024

For the Collibra data intelligence platform, a tenant is a combination of applications provisioned on a mixture of virtual machines and single—and multi-tenant Kubernetes services. This combination makes tenant lifecycle management non-trivial. In this session, we’ll explore using Argo Events, Workflows, and CD to build a global tenant management system. The system supports tenant lifecycle events like create, update, suspend, backup, and restore across various application types and infrastructure without exposing Argo-specific constructs to the application teams. This abstraction, called bridged workflows, allows teams to hook into the lifecycles in a simple Kubernetes native way, providing operations and developers the same simple participation in the global tenant management lifecycle. The case study will give you ideas for building a global tenant management system using the Argo suite.
