Kubernetes night: Argo Workflows & much more!

Valencia Codes would like to welcome you all to our #22 edition of Level Up at the offices of Deutsche Telekom.

What is Level Up? It's a monthly meet-up where we will be inviting speakers from inside and outside of our community to introduce you to interesting technical topics and share their experiences with you.

From Chaos to Flow: Simplifying Automation with Argo Workflows
by José Smiller, Software Engineer @ Avantio
"In modern software development, automation is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. Argo Workflows is a powerful tool that helps you define and manage complex workflows directly in Kubernetes, using simple, declarative YAML.

Whether you build apps, manage infrastructure, or process data, this talk will show how Argo can streamline your processes. We'll explore real-world examples, common use cases, and why it's gaining popularity in cloud-native environments. No Kubernetes experience required, just curiosity."

Unfortunately, due to health issues Alfonso cannot attend today and we must postpone his talk for another time.

Automating production deployments with ArgoCD: real use case by Alfonso Pérez DevOps Manager @ Zscaler

Is it possible to reduce the deployment of a Kubernetes application from more than 20 mins to a few seconds? What would you do if you face the deployment of Kubernetes applications using monolithic terraform code and several scripts? How would you delegate the deployment of applications in production to developers and avoid the subsequent chaos in the process?

In this talk we will see how a small team of very motivated engineers was able to considerably reduce the deployment time of Kubernetes applications, refactor the infrastructure code and reduce the code size, and shift left the application deployment in production just by appliying the GitOps principles and ArgoCD.
