Kubernetes native workers are now available, offering improved scaling, resource efficiency, isolation, security, portability, and flexibility. The new Kubernetes operator manages worker pools efficiently, integrating seamlessly with standard Kubernetes mechanisms for easy scaling. To use Kubernetes native workers, generate a private key, install it via kubectl or helm, create a secret containing the private key and token, and then create the worker pool. Spacelift is an alternative to using homegrown solutions on top of a generic CI, offering state management and additional infrastructure management capabilities.
