Description

An ambitious plan to modernize the web hosting infrastructure at CERN started in 2019, aiming at consolidating the various hosting technologies on a shared Kubernetes/Openshift platform.
In this talk I will present the design of the web hosting infrastructure resulting from this project and how we leveraged the Kubernetes operator pattern for site provisioning and configuration management.
I will also cover our choices and design decisions regarding the user interface for site management, the use of upstream components from the Kubernetes ecosystem and the integration of this Kubernetes-based infrastructure with CERN SSO and more generally the CERN computing environment.
