Gitops on Dev & Platform Engineering Hub

Kubernetes Ep 15: Production Helm Charts & Package Deployment

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 01:15:00 +0000

Managing dozens of static YAML manifests across multiple environments (dev, staging, prod) leads to repetitive code and configuration drift. Helm is the official package manager for Kubernetes, enabling templating, parameterization, versioned releases, and one-click upgrades.

Kratix Ep 6: FluxCD GitOps Integration

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 21:00:00 +0000

If your organization prefers Flux over ArgoCD, Kratix supports it natively without any modifications to the Platform Cluster. Because Kratix simply writes standard YAML to a Git repository, any GitOps controller can act as the delivery agent. In this episode, we configure FluxCD on the Worker Cluster.

Kratix Ep 5: ArgoCD GitOps Integration

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:50:00 +0000

In this episode, we learn HOW to execute the GitOps pull model in practice. We will configure ArgoCD on a Worker Cluster to continuously sync the Redis StatefulSet YAML generated by our Kratix Pipeline, ensuring you understand the mechanics of the State Store.

Kratix Ep 3: Kratix GitOps vs Crossplane GitOps

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:30:00 +0000

Crossplane uses GitOps to provision AWS infrastructure. Kratix uses GitOps to orchestrate Promises. This frequently leads to severe architectural confusion for teams adopting Platform Engineering. In this episode, we define the exact boundary between the two tools and learn how they complement each other in a Production IDP.

Kratix Ep 2: Multi-Cluster Architecture & IaC

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:20:00 +0000

In this episode, we deeply analyze the ‘Where’ of the 5W1H framework. We will map out the Hub and Spoke topology, learn why Kratix intentionally isolates the Platform Cluster from the Worker Clusters for security, and explore how traditional Infrastructure-as-Code (like Terraform) executes inside this GitOps-driven model.

Crossplane Ep 12: GitOps with ArgoCD and Crossplane

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 19:10:00 +0000

If you are running kubectl apply -f my-database.yaml from your laptop, you are doing it wrong. In modern Platform Engineering, no human should ever talk directly to the Kubernetes API. In this episode, we configure ArgoCD to automatically deploy Crossplane XRs directly from a GitHub repository.

KCNA Deep Guide: Cloud Native Architecture & Exam Mastery

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:00:00 +0000

The Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) certification tests your foundational understanding of the Cloud Native ecosystem, CNCF project landscape, and Kubernetes control plane mechanics.

KCNA Ep 5: Cloud Native Security & GitOps Practices

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:25:00 +0000

Modern cloud-native operations rely on declarative security governance (RBAC, Network Policies) and automated continuous delivery (GitOps). In this final KCNA episode, we cover security fundamentals, GitOps workflows, and Service Meshes.

Terraform Ep 12: CI/CD Automation with Terraform Cloud and GitHub Actions

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 11:10:00 +0000

Running ’terraform apply’ from a local laptop is a major security and compliance risk. In this episode, we transition to a GitOps workflow. You will learn how to automate Terraform plans on Pull Requests, and automatically apply changes upon merging to the main branch using GitHub Actions.

Mastering Kratix: Building Composable Internal Developer Platforms on Kubernetes

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Master Kratix to deliver self-service infrastructure and application capabilities to development teams with Promises, Workflows, Pipelines, and GitOps.
