OpenGitOps’ Post

#HashiTalks, is just around the corner. With a lineup of incredible presenters, this is an event that you won't want to miss! This year's list of talks is notably abundant in discussions led by HashiCorp Ambassadors, definitely engaging and informative, hence we'll all get immense value out of them. Elif Samedin and myself, we will be discussing the art of crafting strategic and automated tests using Terraform's new Test Framework. As we dive into the details of end-to-end testing in Terraform, we will also emphasize the critical role it plays in ensuring that making infrastructure changes can be more reliable. It’s about boosting overall system stability and availability. #hashitalks #hashicorp #terraform #unfriendlygrinch https://lnkd.in/dPB_xea9

At GitOps Con NA, I'll be presenting a 30-minute talk titled "Accelerating GitOps Adoption Using Flux". It will focus on my team's journey to GitOps process in a just two months using Flux, GitHub, Terraform.

🚀 Hey awesome people! Join me at HashiTalks 2024 tomorrow, it's going to be a blast! Mark your calendars! 📅 My talk is happening at 13:45 Eastern tomorrow.

📍 Here’s our next speaker, Rotem Refael, Director of Engineering and open-source at ARMO. Rotem admits there are two obvious facts, #Security is becoming de facto in cloud native stacks and guarding tooling has the own issues. In her talk, Rotem will explain why context matters and what's needed to apply better component security. She unpack the challenging parts, and provide real tips to help you overcome them and achieve greater security and guardrails for your organization. 🔐 Rotem Refael actively contributes to and oversees the Kubescape open source project at ARMO, advocating for improved open source security accessibility. With a wealth of experience spanning software development, architecture, and product management, Rotem brings extensive expertise in Kubernetes engineering, deployment, monitoring with specific expertise in working with Prometheus, as well as bringing deep know-how in all aspects of IaC, driving best practices and methods wherever she goes.

Expectations are shifting as we move away from distinct IT roles. Ideally, this empowers employees, but the knowledge gap between their skills and these new expectations is significant! Pile on the education gap with traditional education not covering modern cloud concepts. Top it off with costs getting out of control with over-provisioned resources and a lack of governance. The future of cloud leadership lies in recognizing these challenges and adapting our approach. That’s why we created the Cloud Leadership Circle The March meetup explored the hidden challenges of Kubernetes adoption and why it's not just about the technology itself. Join the CLC community and connect with leaders who are tackling these challenges head-on.

"The Unjust Fall of Kubernetes” kicked off a thought-provoking discussion for our March community meetup.  In the talk, Andy broke down the challenges, pitfalls, and what we can do about it! K8s itself isn't the culprit; it's how we implement it within our organizational structure and developer. The video is now available, and we encourage you to watch it and share your thoughts. The topic and presentation were such a hit that our members requested to keep the Kubernetes conversation going for our April meetup! Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/gDEWWgS5 We'd love to hear your thoughts on "The Unjust Fall of Kubernetes."  Share your comments below and join the conversation!
