Corral your Kubernetes Clusters with CAPI Equinix | Chris Privitere | Demo Day InfraCode 2024

The session offers an overview of managing Kubernetes clusters on Equinix Metal using Cluster API (CAPI) and Argo CD. Cluster API, a Kubernetes sub-project, provides a declarative API for creating and managing Kubernetes clusters. Equinix offers a CAPI provider called CAPI-Packet, enabling the creation of Kubernetes clusters on its Metal infrastructure. The demo illustrates how to use the cluster-cuddle tool to create a Kubernetes cluster and apply its definition to Argo CD, which functions as the GitOps operator. Argo CD applies the cluster configuration from a Git repository to the target Kubernetes cluster. The demo also showcases how to scale the worker node count by updating the YAML configuration and allowing Argo CD to sync the changes. The presentation highlights the advantages of infrastructure-as-code and GitOps principles in managing Kubernetes clusters at scale.
