Leveraging said projects often requires modifying or extending them to meet these internal mandates. In this talk, we will review different patterns for “internalizing” external open source projects and discuss the pros and cons of each approach. These patterns are upstream contribution, forking, wrapping, and mutation. We will review specific case studies using popular open source projects (including Kubeflow, Argo Workflows, Dask, and more) and how we fulfilled internal requirements using the four aforementioned approaches. In particular, we want to highlight the comparative benefits of Kubernetes mutating admission control (with Kyverno) when adopting open source projects. We hope that audiences will walk away with concrete tools to streamline open source adoption.
