GitOps Modern Operations for EKS

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Sets up GitOps on Amazon EKS using Flux (installed via Helm), an SSH deploy key plus a Flux-created Kubernetes secret, and a 1-minute poll interval so changes propagate quickly. Installs AWS App Mesh with the controller and injector, CloudWatch Container Insights (Prometheus + fluentd), and deploys the podinfo sample. Demonstrates Flux with 1-minute poll driving a App Mesh virtual service 50/50 canary, then reversion to 100% v2; telemetry appears in CloudWatch and the demo succeeds.
