Eliminating Waste With Kubernetes and GitOps
March 17th, 2022 - 7 a.m. PST | 10 a.m. EST | 4 p.m. CET
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.
The tools used to create this architecture include Terraform, Anthos Config Management, GKE, Docker, Jenkins and the sock-shop app. Instructions can be found in the Readme files: https://github.com/cloud-architecture-demo/demo-sf2
