K8s Initializer 1.0: Accelerate CNCF technology adoption for Kubernetes developers​

Building cloud-native applications requires more than just Kubernetes. The K8s Initializer is a free tool that enables developers to configure a full platform stack on Kubernetes built on Ambassador (ingress), Argo (continuous delivery), OpenTelemetry (tracing), Prometheus (monitoring) and more. The Initializer has been used by thousands of developers to configure Kubernetes already, and has generated over 70 million lines of YAML.

Ambassador Labs is thrilled to announce the 1.0 release of the Initializer which makes building and sharing Kubernetes playgrounds even easier, with additional support for observability and serverless as well as new features that make sharing proof-of-concepts with teammates more accessible.
