Talk #1
Flux-Powered Bootstrapping a Kubernetes With GitOps and CaC by Paris Nakita Kejser @Astrona
Explore how to use Flux as a GitOps-driven bootstrap engine for Kubernetes clusters, orchestrating both foundational infrastructure and application layers. Starting with Configuration as Code (CaC) powered by Ansible.
Then, we'll dive into how Flux can take over the second stage: managing higher-layer workloads, microservices, and platform applications using GitOps principles.
Whether you’re bootstrapping a production-grade cluster or designing internal platform tooling, this session will provide a real-world, flexible architecture that unifies Ansible, Flux, and GitOps into one powerful lifecycle.
