Intro to Kubernetes, GitOps, and Observability Hands-On Tutorial
summary
Hands-on deploy of a containerized .NET imdb app to a k3d cluster using GitHub Codespaces, with kubectl and K9s for inspection, FluxCD for FluxCD reconciling and drift detection, and an observability stack of Prometheus + Grafana dashboards and Fluent Bit for logs. Workshop shows bootstrapping Flux to a repo path, Flux auto-creating manifests, ordered installs via customize dependsOn, a manual replica change being reverted by Flux, and a load test that raises real errors. Resources run and Flux self-heals.
