A comprehensive walkthrough for building a multicluster GitOps platform using popular open source tools in the Kubernetes space, focusing on choosing a cloud provider, selecting a Git provider, establishing a platform domain and DNS provider, defining Infrastructure as Code, selecting a GitOps engine, and defining management pillars.
This article provides a cheatsheet on the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) landscape, highlighting the benefits of scalable infrastructure provisioning in terms of availability, scalability, repeatability, and cost-effectiveness. It discusses strategies such as containerization, container orchestration, and tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and Ansible. The article also introduces GitOps as a method for automating infrastructure updates through Git workflows and CI/CD.
Eran Bibi, co-founder and chief product officer at Firefly, discusses two open-source AI tools, AIaC and K8sGPT, that aim to reduce DevOps friction by automating tasks such as generating IaC code and troubleshooting Kubernetes issues.
AIaC (AI as Code): An open source command-line interface (CLI) tool that enables developers to generate IaC (Infrastructure as Code) templates, shell scripts, and more using natural language prompts. Example: Generating a secure Dockerfile for a Node.js application by describing requirements in natural language. Benefits: Reduces the need for manual coding and errors, accelerating the development process.
K8sGPT: An open source tool developed by Alex Jones within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sandbox. Uses AI to analyze and diagnose issues within Kubernetes clusters, providing human-readable explanations and potential fixes. Example: Diagnosing a Kubernetes pod stuck in a pending state and suggesting corrective actions. Benefits: Simplifies troubleshooting, reduces the expertise required, and empowers less experienced users to manage clusters effectively.
