Scaling Kubernetes Fleet Management Using GitOps Bridge

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Shows a repeatable pattern called GitOps Bridge that takes Pulumi outputs and writes them into Argo CD cluster secrets so Argo uses those values for Helm charts and addons. Uses Pulumi → ArgoCD cluster secrets with IRSA/assume‑role (no long‑lived AWS keys), ArgoCD application sets to generate thousands of apps across fleets, per‑cluster S3 buckets for Velero backups, optional Crossplane/Carpenter for infra and node provisioning, and a public repo with ~40 ready application set examples.
