ClusterOps: The Power of GitOps to Infrastructure Provisioning
Within its seven years of existence, Kubernetes has been the centerpiece of the Cloud Native landscape, elevating a pluggable system that diversified the entire ecosystem. As a result, multiple areas have been developed in the industry, galvanizing solutions for components such as network, runtime, storage, and cluster provisioning.
The pivotal tool to manage cross-provider infrastructure has been Cluster API, leading a unique and radical stance for Kubernetes distribution. In association with a model such as GitOps, Cluster API assembles a mechanism that leverages the concept of a "cluster as a resource".
This talk will outline how ClusterOps can be modeled with Cluster API manifests and automated using GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and Flux.
