With the open flexibility of Kubernetes and its ecosystem, there are many ways to deploy applications to Kubernetes. We need to design our deployment process to support both platform and application teams. In this tutorial, we will cover deployment practices we’ve seen implemented by end-users, and will stand on the tradeoffs of using one deployment method or the other. You will have a hands-on experience for deploying applications into Kubernetes, leveraging some of the common practices such as IaC, GitOps, and the bridge between them. You will also experiment with practices for provisioning backing resources using Crossplane and ArgoCD. Let's make deploying applications a breeze!
