Unlocking Kubernetes Potential with Operators

Kubernetes Operators are intelligent controllers that automate complex, day-2 operations, allowing you to seamlessly manage stateful applications, databases, and middleware. Discover how Operators empower you to create custom resources that define application behavior, paving the way for simplified deployments, updates, and scaling.

We'll delve into the core concepts of Kubernetes Operators, covering everything from their anatomy to best practices in development and management. You'll gain insights into real-world use cases and learn about the Operator SDK, a toolkit that simplifies Operator creation.

GitOps at Scale using FluxCD

As modern infrastructure grows increasingly complex, GitOps has emerged as a powerful paradigm for managing Kubernetes environments declaratively and securely. In this talk, I’ll walk through how our team runs GitOps at scale using FluxCD, sharing lessons learned from deploying and operating production workloads across multiple clusters.

We’ll begin by exploring the core principles of GitOps and how FluxCD enables continuous reconciliation between Git and Kubernetes. I’ll showcase how we’ve architected our GitOps pipelines to support multi-tenant environments, implemented automated synchronization strategies, and customized deployment flows using Helm and Kustomize—all while maintaining high availability and security.

Drawing from our production experience, I’ll highlight how we’ve tackled challenges such as scaling FluxCD controllers, managing secrets with Sealed Secrets, and optimizing polling intervals to reduce load on container registries. I’ll also share how we transitioned from Flux v1 to v2, the architectural improvements it brought, and how we integrated it with CI/CD systems like Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions for seamless delivery.

Whether you're just starting with GitOps or looking to scale your existing setup, this session will provide practical insights, architecture patterns, and operational tips to help you run GitOps reliably in production.
