Mastering Cluster API and GitOps: Deep Dive into Extensible Components for Building Production-Ready Kubernetes Cluster
Hands-on Lab (ADVANCED level)
Taroudant A
There are many different ways you can bootstrap Kubernetes clusters, with various degrees of complexity. Modern Kubernetes installers automate manual tasks but generally, the more they abstract away complexity, the more opinionated they are — and that restricts your choice. Cluster API is different. It is one of the most flexible and efficient tools for managing the Kubernetes lifecycle, whether used for deployments, upgrades or scaling operations. While Cluster API is a powerful tool for provisioning Kubernetes clusters, it doesn't cover everything. Essential add-on components and software, such as node auto-scalers, CNI, ingress controllers, and other key infrastructure elements, are not included.
In this workshop, you will delve into how to supercharge Cluster API by integrating it with various solutions to build production-ready clusters. And for the grand finale, we'll introduce GitOps into the equation using ArgoCD, enhancing scalability and bolstering security. Join Nic as he unveils how to unlock the full potential of Cluster API and transform your Kubernetes journey.
