When GitOps Is Not Enough - Alexander Hungenberg, Roche

GitOps is an awesome pattern for managing infrastructure. However, in some cases, managing one environment is not enough - but instead many, potentially even thousands of very similar environments must be handled (and kept in sync).

Think about examples like:
- Keeping your dev, staging and prod environments in sync
- Setting up and maintaining common infrastructure in many AWS accounts for an entire organization
- Operating a large number of similar Kubernetes clusters

This talk will show how Roche, one of the world's largest healthcare companies, is tackling this problem with a new approach we call MegOps (=Meta GitOps). It is based on utilizing templates for Git repositories, which can be easily applied with a new open source tool (foxops).
