How we built a dynamic Kubernetes API Server for the API Aggregation Layer in Cozystack

Andrei Kvapil, a developer involved in Kubernetes and cloud-native tools, shares his experience with implementing an extension API server in the open-source PaaS platform, Cozystack. The API aggregation layer is a feature in Kubernetes that allows developers to write their own extension API server, integrating it into Kubernetes and processing requests for specific resource types. It is useful for scenarios such as implementing imperative logic, managing subresources, and dynamically generating responses. It provides full control over conversion, validation, and output formatting, and allows for dynamic resource registration. However, it should be avoided if the backend is unstable or if requests are slow, as it can make the cluster less stable.
