Name: Second Monthly Hack Night
Start: 2025-06-27T00:00:00.000Z
Location: Forge Utah

**Spectro Cloud** delivers a next-generation **Kubernetes management platform** called **Palette**, which enables enterprises to build, deploy, and manage Kubernetes clusters with full-stack lifecycle management, policy governance, and seamless integrations. The platform supports **declarative infrastructure management** using cluster profiles, and allows DevOps teams to **customize their Kubernetes stacks** (including OS, CNIs, CSIs, monitoring, security, etc.) while maintaining centralized control and compliance.
Key features include:

* **Cluster lifecycle management** across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments
* **Modular stack composition** using a curated set of tools (e.g., Istio, Prometheus, Calico)
* **Policy-based governance** for compliance and security
* **Declarative cluster profiles** for repeatability and standardization
* **Integration with GitOps workflows** and existing CI/CD pipelines

Spectro Cloud is especially notable for addressing the complexity of **multi-cluster, multi-environment** Kubernetes at enterprise scale, making it a compelling choice for platform engineering and infrastructure teams looking to offer Kubernetes as a service internally.

**Presenter bio:**
Auston Ivison local to Salt Lake, has worked with k8s in various roles for nearly 5 years. As a Solution Architect at Spectro Cloud, I will be sharing with you our open source tool to build, and deploy an immutable OS of your choice specifically for the edge!

Community Lightning Talks

Hang out, talk shop, get help on your projects. We're focused on open source stuff, but that's not a rule, just a priority. Come work in the Forge space.

No speaker, no sponsor except Forge, and no food provided. Bring food or drink if you want, bring a laptop if you need it to work, and come hang out and hack!

This is the second hack night of the monthly two.
