| Welcome & State of GitOps | Dan Garfield, Scott Rigby | 10m |
Announcement of GitOps Principles 1.0 as a CNCF-hosted project with a published glossary and site opengetops.dev, plus practical rules: declarative desired… | ||
| Keynote: Pipeline as Code Empowering Cloud-Native CI/CD on Kubernetes Using Open Source Tools | Christian Hernandez | 09m |
Pipeline-as-code claims to make CI and CD fully declarative by keeping pipelines, build logic, and deployment config in git and driving them on Kubernetes; a… | ||
| A Multi-Cluster, Multi-Cloud Infrastructure with GitOps at CERN | Ricardo Rocha | 29m |
CERN runs a GitOps workflow that manages the cluster underlay, base services and end-user services from one repo, using Flux and Argo CD for reconciliation and… | ||
| Gitopsify Cellular Architecture | Ayush Ghosh, Sergey Sergeev | 09m |
Claims a move from many expensive inconsistent non‑prod environments to testing in production with cellular architecture and GitOps, cutting region onboarding… | ||
| Keynote: Creating the Enterprise App Store | Alexis Richardson | 10m |
Enterprises still suffer three demons—software they can't stop, can't upgrade, can't delete—but Kubernetes plus GitOps promises an app store model by treating… | ||
| Keynote: Declaring Complexity | Emily Freeman | 10m |
GitOps claims that storing infrastructure as code in Git both declares the desired state and captures complexity so humans can reason about systems. It treats… | ||
| Are Your Declarative Configurations Human Friendly? Closer Look at Code Reviews with GitOps | Ryota Sawada | 21m |
Helm templating and Kustomize overlays hide real resource changes: a Grafana upgrade from 6.3.0 to 6.16.2 produces 50 differences only visible after running… | ||

Argo CloudOps claims to extend GitOps to cloud resources by integrating Argo Workflows with configuration tools like AWS CDK and Terraform and using GitHub as… | ||
| GitOps and the CD Pipeline - Friend or Foe? | Tracy Ragan | 10m |
Claim: GitOps breaks the CD pipeline at scale unless the front end is automated. A microservice catalog like microservice catalog stores image tags, key/value… | ||
| Managing Apps Dependencies and Kubernetes Versions with Kraan and Flux | Adrian Vacaru | 20m |
Kraan is a Kubernetes controller that uses Flux’s source-controller and helm-controller to pull Helm charts from Git and reconcile cluster state, enforcing… | ||
| Using GitOps for Kubernetes Reliability at Scale | Uma Mukkara | 30m |
Claim: GitOps automates large-scale chaos testing by treating experiments as code and running them whenever an application change occurs. Implementation uses… | ||
| Tales from the Branches: GitOps in the Real World | Dan Garfield | 29m |
Companies describe concrete wins and pain points: 2600+ clusters at Starbucks and a cluster per store model at Chick‑fil‑A force decentralized Git-driven… | ||
| GitOps in the Real World: Opportunities for Developer Experience Improvement | Christopher Lane, Alex Crane | 15m |
Chick‑fil‑A runs GitOps at production scale: Kubernetes on EKS with Argo CD syncing an atlas repo of merged manifests; CI uses GitHub Actions and Artifactory… | ||
| A Day in the Life of the GitOps Platform Team | Mae Large, Priyanka Ravi | 29m |
A five‑person GitOps platform team that started in 2019 scales GitOps across AWS, on‑prem Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry using the Terraform GitLab provider… | ||
| Securing GitOps | Andrew Block, Shoubhik Bose | 09m |
GitOps security centers on four concrete controls: lock down the GitOps engine (use Argo CD and Flux, run as a dedicated service account, restrict namespaces)… | ||
| Secure Your GitOps - How to Implement a Robust Security Strategy | Todd Ekenstam | 16m |
Intuit runs 350+ clusters using GitOps and describes concrete controls: CI uses short‑lived creds, image registry enforces immutable tags and scans with… | ||
| Building Flux's Multi-Tenant API with K8s User Impersonation | Leigh Capili | 21m |
Flux builds a multi-tenant API by giving the controller permission to impersonate service accounts and groups so each applier acts as a per-object identity… | ||
