Are you new to GitOps and coming to CIVO Navigate to learn? If you are, this hands-on workshop will teach you how to build a gitops based developer platform on top of an empty CIVO Kubernetes cluster.

Participants will bootstrap GitOps with Flux CD, install must have cluster components like the Ingress-NGINX Controller, Prometheus, Grafana and Cert Manager to get free SSL certificates.

We will cover Kubernetes manifest authoring with Helm and Kustomize, deployment, rollback and preview environment automation with Github Actions.

Throughout the workshop, concepts will be clearly explained and demonstrated with hands-on-examples.

If time permits, we will explore chat notifications, ArgoCD as a gitops controller alternative, or canary releases.

This workshop is hosted by Laszlo Fogas, founder of the Gimlet gitops based development platform, where Laszlo researches and applies the best of gitops practices to hundreds of clusters.
