GitOps Based Infrastructure as Code with Rancher Fleet and Crossplane
Talkat GitOpsCon Europe 2022 · on Tuesday, 2022-05-17· at 10:30· Joaquin Rodrigo Room I | Mall Level | Central Forum·
summary
Combines Rancher Fleet and Crossplane so Kubernetes becomes the universal declarative API for cloud resources, claiming Fleet can manage GitOps at scale — up to thousands of clusters — while Crossplane exposes AWS/GCP services as CRDs so developers request managed services with Kubernetes manifests. Demo shows Fleet bootstrapping Crossplane providers for AWS and GCP, Fleet applying a repo that creates a GKE cluster and a Cloud SQL Postgres and the SQL instance comes up; Terrajet reuses Terraform providers but support for OpenStack/KVM is still immature. Git-only workflow for devs and platform controls via GitOps.
