This session is aimed at cloud-native app developers and platform engineers. We will discuss how engineers can transition from manual operations of their development clusters to workflows that automate cluster tasks using Git and Flux – to save time and avoid mistakes. Starting with a bare cluster, we’ll show how to use templates as the scaffolding for new development environments. Templates are created and provided by the platform team to enable developer self-service and to free up platform engineers from handling service requests. Using templates we will take the first steps to create an integrated GitOps Pull Request workflow for building containerized workloads. Let’s deploy our YAML manifests from GitHub directly onto Kubernetes!
