" summary

Demo shows a Ghost blog deployed from one Git repo where Flux monitors repo and applies k8s manifests while CodePipeline/CodeBuild runs a CDK deploys RDS multi‑AZ change. CDK creates an RDS instance and Secrets Manager secret, External Secrets Controller upserts Secrets into Kubernetes, ALB Ingress Controller provisions an ALB and adds two pod targets after the deployment changes replicas from 1 to 2, and the site serves HTTPS with an ACM certificate — the end‑to‑end flow succeeds.
