## ​​​About the Talks

​​Talk 1: Kargo - GitOps Promotions Made Easy
​​GitOps defines the "what," but Kargo masters the "how" across your environments. Join me as I demonstrate how Kargo standardizes promotion paths from Dev to Prod using Git as the single source of truth. We’ll dive into the Kargo model - Warehouse, Freight, and Stages - and show you how to make your deployments both manageable and fully auditable through a real-world example.
​​Talk 2: Perses: The New Standard for Kubernetes-Native Visualization
​As cloud-native ecosystems grow in complexity, the need for GitOps-compatible, vendor-neutral, and highly extensible visualization has never been greater. Enter Perses, the CNCF sandbox project designed to redefine the "dashboard-as-code" paradigm.
This presentation explores the dual nature of the Perses ecosystem. We begin by diving into the core open-source project, examining its mission to provide a powerful alternative to legacy visualization tools. We then shift focus to the Red Hat build of Perses, highlighting how this enterprise distribution adds a layer of stability, lifecycle management, and seamless integration into the Red Hat observability stack.
