Accelerating GitOps Adoption with Flux - Ed Boykin, CoreCard, Inc.
The Innovation group at CoreCard is tasked with rewriting 20-year-old legacy software as cloud native microservices running on Kubernetes. Multiple development teams need to work at high velocity and deploy to multiple environments each day. They decided to implement GitOps processes to increase developer productivity, and platform security, consistency, and observability. Flux was a major component to aid in the successful adoption of GitOps in just 2 months. The session will introduce the background and reasons leading to implementing GitOps to solve several challenges. A top challenge being how do we improve environment consistency and change accountability without affecting team velocity. It will cover how and why Flux contributed to the solutions, for instance Flux’s support for Helm charts and kustomizations allowed existing charts and manifests to be reused. Finally, they will show measurable improvements, plus the future roadmap to continuously improve the processes.
