GitOps in Azure

Talk 1:

Title: Building and managing application platforms with Azure Kubernetes Service

The Kubernetes landscape is maturing and the managed offerings from cloud providers have come a long way, providing a more streamlined cluster operations experience. But we still need to make architectural decisions, set up automation, governance, and most importantly secure it. Even when the surrounding cloud platform is set up, we still need to tune internal Kubernetes resources to make sure that both Dev and Ops have the best possible user experience, helping people work together without rigid processes that slows progression.

In this session we explore how to create highly available application platforms built with Azure services by using Terraform for infrastructure, FluxCD for true GitOps application delivery, all tied together using other CNCF backed projects and Azure DevOps. Expect a lot of information and much more practical examples than slides.

Speaker: Roberth Strand, Azure MVP

Talk 2:

Git-Ops -operations by pull requests-is an operating model where the teams shift from pushing changes to environments and instead have the environments pull in the changes. In short, we move from a push-based deployment model to a pull-based one. This talk will introduce the term GitOps, what problem it is solving, and how it works. We will show the interface between GitOps and IaC and walk through a real-world GitOps enterprise set up with all of its components and tools. GitOps introduce changes for the platform and individual product teams. This talk will walk through those changes and lessons learned.
