GitOps powered management for multi-cluster Kubernetes across any cloud

Kubernetes is the foundation of any cloud-native architecture today, however it is just one part of a modern enterprise infrastructure. In order to truly unlock cloud native agility, platform teams require new components and methodologies in order to successfully operationalize the entire stack. In reality many enterprise IT teams are faced daily with production challenges resulting from managing multi-cluster Kubernetes across multiple clouds.

What should you consider when designing and deploying a Kubernetes-centric architecture?

Solo.io and Weaveworks are teaming up to discuss common pitfalls and to demonstrate how GitOps workflows in the Weave Kubernetes Platform along with Gloo and Service Mesh Hub can configure, operationalize and extend your application environment across clouds.

* What do you need for a production grade Kubernetes infrastructure?
* What pitfalls to avoid when managing multi-cluster and multi-cloud
* How to control application traffic and security from Ingress to Service Mesh
* How to deliver sophisticated cluster lifecycle management of maintenance, upgrades and patches with GitOps

3. The Kubernetes User Challenge Kubernetes User Role Challenge Platform Architect Define infrastructure platform (cluster and components) to meet team needs. Defining a standardized production ready cluster, K8s and cluster component upgrades. Cluster Ops Deploy, manage and operate clusters based on platform definition and operationalize processes. Consistent cluster and component deployments and upgrades. Scale up/scale down, managing customization choices over time. Application Developer Develop, test and debug applications that will run on the platform. How to deploy new versions, how to observe and debug issues SRE / App Ops Production application ops: deploy, observe, operations, incident management. Needs to manage: application, SLAs, app observability, and all related services.
4. Multi-Cluster and Multi-Cloud They are more than just buzzwords Reliability Security High Availability Disaster Recovery Scalability
5. How GitOps Can Help Deployment (clusters, API gateway, service mesh, apps) Management (operations) Build GIT Test IDE “Immutability Firewall” Kubernetes GitOps Continuous Integration Observability (Monitoring, logging)
