GitOps Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes

• An understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts.
• An understanding of the software development process (create, build, test, deploy, monitor, etc.)

Audience

• DevOps engineers
• System administrators
• System architects

GitOps is Continuous Deployment of cloud-native applications based on Git and Kubernetes.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at DevOps engineers who wish to set up, deploy and manage a Git-based software deployment workflow for their Kubernetes applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Spinnaker and Terraform.
• Understand the benefits of GitOps over traditional CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC).
• Move away from maintaining scripts. Configure and execute well-defined deployment process.
• Apply best practices for cloud-native deployment, management, and monitoring.
• Recover deployments from partial failures without manual intervention.
• Create a GitOps strategy for application development.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
