Session: Get Started with Kubernetes & GitOps

For those that are new to Kubernetes, don’t fret! Justin will give a brief overview of Kubernetes core concepts, features, architecture, and key components to ensure you have a necessary understanding of the Kubernetes ecosystem so that you can follow along with the rest of this hands-on workshop.

Introduction to GitOps:

Pinky will cover the most popular path that has brought success to many users already – GitOps as a natural evolution of Kubernetes. She’ll give an overview of how you can benefit from Kubernetes and GitOps: greater security, reliability, velocity and more. Importantly, we cover definitions and principles standardized by the CNCF’s OpenGitOps group and what it means for you.

Get Started with GitOps Workshop:

You’ll have GitOps up and running in about 30 mins using our free and open source tools! We’ll give a brief vision of where you could be with those security, reliability, and velocity benefits, and then we’ll support you while you go through the getting started steps.

During the workshop, you’ll also experience in action and see demos for:

  • Automation & Speed: How easy it is to deploy and manage an application to Kubernetes using GitOps with Flux
  • Disaster recovery using GitOps
  • All with free and open source tools mostly in the CNCF (Kubernetes, Docker, Flux, etc.).

Pre-requisites: A basic understanding of Git and Docker/containers, A GitHub account, Docker Desktop installed (docker.com/get-started/), KIND installed, kubectl installed, and Flux CLI installed
