DevOps Meetup #80: DevOps Porto x AWS UG Porto

Welcome to our meetup where we explore and share DevOps values, practices, and culture.
This time we’re joining forces with our friends from AWS UG Porto.

Talk 1
Configure an API Management Platform with K8s and GitOps

Summary
Due to regulatory requirements, Geo Distribution or internal Architectural decisions, it's not uncommon for a DevOps team to operate multiple API Management instances within a single organization. When operating at scale, standardization and automation become critical to maintain consistency and efficiency.
In this talk, using a GitOps Pull model (powered by ArgoCD), we will explore an approach for configuring multiple API Management Platforms. By extending Kubernetes API and using Kubernetes Operators, we ensure that each API Management platform's actual state aligns with its desired state in a fully automated and declarative manner.
