SEACON:UK 2019 Strategies for Cloud Native Transformation

Strategies for Cloud Native Transformation

Today it’s all about delivering velocity without compromising on quality, yet it’s becoming increasingly difficult for organisations to keep up with the challenges of current release management and traditional operations. In this era of fast deployments and quality control, businesses find that Kubernetes cluster management and other cloud native technologies can come with a steep learning curve.

Developed at Weaveworks, GitOps is a data driven way to easily manage applications and clusters across hybrid and multicloud infrastructure. Learn what you need for a production ready cluster as well as the core concepts of GitOps and how it can help you and your team go faster while at the same time gaining security, observability and operational control.

Alexis Richardson, CEO of Weaveworks, founding member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), will show you what a cloud native platform looks like. He’ll then walk you through the different options available from cloud providers and discuss why GitOps is the way forward and how you can benefit from using this model.
