Today, the third in a series of Software Factory demos has been released, at the cloud-architecture-demo project on github. The tools used to create this architecture include Terraform, ArgoCD, EKS, Docker, Jenkins and the sock-shop app.

Today, the third in a series of Software Factory demos has been released, at the cloud-architecture-demo project on github.

In this software factory demo, you will be shown how to leverage infrastructure as code, along with GitOps tooling, to seamlessly build and deploy an example workload in Elastic Kubernetes Service. A few key tools will be needed to accomplish this: Terraform, ArgoCD and EKS.

This software factory demo will explore GitOps, why it is useful and how you can begin using it. The workload shown in this demo is the Sock Shop Demo App, from WeaveWorks, along with a Jenkins CI/CD server that is configured with code.

By rendering critical cloud architecture in your portfolio as code, it is feasible that every day could be a Disaster Recovery exercise. When managing infrastructure with this disposable philosophy, any misconfigurations are quickly discovered and technical debt doesn't accumulate quite so quickly either.

The tools used to create this architecture include Terraform, ArgoCD, EKS, Docker, Jenkins and the sock-shop app. Instructions can be found in the Readme files: https://github.com/cloud-architecture-demo/demo-sf3

I was recently invited to submit a topic to discuss Enterprise Kubernetes at an upcoming DevOps Institute SKILup Day event. It has been an honor to be selected to give a talk and I'm looking forward to seeing you there on March 17th, 2022.

Eliminating Waste With Kubernetes and GitOps

I was recently invited to submit a topic to discuss Enterprise Kubernetes at an upcoming DevOps Institute SKILup Day event. It has been an honor to be selected to give a talk and I'm looking forward to seeing you there on March 17th, 2022. The subject of my talk will explore how combining GitOps with Cloud-Native Kubernetes clusters can reduce waste and accelerate delivery flows.

In this session, you will be shown how to leverage infrastructure as code, along with GitOps tooling, to seamlessly build and deploy an example workload in Google Kubernetes Engine. A few key tools will be needed to accomplish this: Terraform, Anthos Config Management and GKE.

This session will review GitOps, why it is useful and how you can begin using it. Then we'll briefly go over the GitOps tool that we will be using in this discussion, Anthos Config Management. Next, we will quickly refresh ourselves on terraform, and then use it to provide our GKE infrastructure and deploy a workload.

The workload shown in this demo is the Sock Shop Demo App, from WeaveWorks, along with a Jenkins CI/CD server that is configured with code.

In our session, you will learn:

• What GitOps is, how it eliminates waste and why this is so powerful.
• The basics of Google's Anthos Config Management platform, so you can quickly begin leveraging GitOps today.
• How Terraform code can be used to provision GKE infrastructure, along with a workload.

This project leverages GitOps techniques that reduce friction during infrastructure deployments. This strategy yields notable processes efficiencies when leveraging Configuration-as-Code and adhering to strict change management procedures. By rendering critical cloud architecture in your portfolio as code, it is feasible that every day could be a Disaster Recovery exercise. When managing infrastructure with this disposable philosophy, any misconfigurations are quickly discovered and technical debt doesn't accumulate quite so quickly either. Looking at the big picture, it is the data that really matters. Infrastructure is just an end to the means, not the means to an end.
