GitOps has revolutionized the way organizations approach infrastructure management, but achieving successful GitOps adoption requires more than just tools — it demands well-defined strategies and techniques. In this session, I will explore the best practices, tools, and strategies that drive successful GitOps workflows, with a focus on leveraging open-source tools to implement scalable, automated, and resilient deployment pipelines.

Drawing from my experience in multi-cloud environments and cloud-native technologies, I’ll walk you through key open-source tools that enable GitOps and how they can be used strategically to streamline processes and overcome common implementation challenges. I’ll also share techniques for optimizing these tools, ensuring that your GitOps pipeline is efficient, secure, and scalable.

Topics Covered:
Kubernetes & Helm: Techniques for managing Kubernetes resources efficiently and deploying complex systems using Helm charts in a GitOps workflow.

ArgoCD & Flux: Strategies for automating continuous delivery in Kubernetes using GitOps operators, ensuring faster and more consistent deployments.

Terraform: Best practices for using Terraform to provision infrastructure as code and maintain consistency across cloud environments.

Prometheus & Grafana: How to implement effective monitoring and observability strategies within your GitOps workflows, enabling real-time insights and proactive issue resolution.
