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”. Platform Mesh is a project in the newly founded Linux Foundation sub-foundation, NeoNephos, originating from the ApeiroRA initiative. 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.
