Establishing a professional gitops-powered Cloud Native ecosystem is a complex undertaking with layers of tooling interdependencies. You’ll need a kubernetes cluster, some infrastructure as code, a gitops source repository to manage your Cloud Native assets, some registration patterns, secrets management, developers and admins with different access needs, and your application will need some CI to build and promote changes to production. Even the best engineering teams will commonly invest many months navigating the CNCF landscape to build their new platform.

Kubefirst cofounders John Dietz and Jared Edwards have spent the last 6 years helping companies adopt cloud native, and will share the specific steps that you'll need to complete to build an open source platform that integrates some of the most popular Cloud Native CNCF tools like Argo CD, Argo Workflows, Kubernetes, GitLab, GitHub, Terraform, and Vault in a Civo Kubernetes environment.
