Best Practices for Using GitOps on Amazon EKS

A GitOps-based deployment process can help DevOps teams deploy application updates and new features more rapidly. And Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) is the best Kubernetes distribution to use to manage containerized applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Combining the two can dramatically automate processes and help teams easily create and manage applications and the Kubernetes infrastructure.

But what are the best practices for using GitOps on Amazon EKS? What are lessons learned that can reduce overhead for lifecycle management of workloads and clusters? Mohan Atreya, Rafay’s VP of Products and Solutions, discusses this and more.

Watch this session of K8s Office Hours to:
