Accelerating Enterprise Development: A Journey of building an Intelligent Self-Service Platform on Google Cloud
in-person✨ Speaker: Abhishek Sharma | Description: In this session, Abhishek will share his journey of designing and implementing a powerful self-service Kubernetes platform on Google Cloud, tailored for enterprise-scale application development. How he leveraged open-source cloud-native tools like GitLab CI/CD, ArgoCD, and Helm to automate the entire Kubernetes lifecycle, from cluster creation and bootstrapping to application deployment at Searce. The platform prioritizes observability and security, integrating tools like Prometheus with its various exporters, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Promtail, OpenTelemetry, Kyverno, and Checkov to provide developers with rich insights and automated security enforcement.
