Ephemeral Clusters as a Service with ClusterAPI and GitOps

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Claims automated provisioning of ephemeral Kubernetes clusters at scale using ClusterAPI with a GitOps control plane powered by Argo CD, demonstrated creating two AKS worker clusters (minion2/minion3) in about four minutes via pull requests. Observability uses per-cluster Prometheus with remote-write into a central Thanos and read-only Grafana dashboards; DNS, ingress and certs use nginx, external-dns and cert-manager; demo shows metrics from ephemeral apps successfully aggregating.
