Kubernetes and GitOps on vessels
summary
PGS moves on‑ship processing off physical racks (500 TB–1 PB storage, up to 2 TB acquired per day) into a cloud‑backed platform that boots Kubernetes on vessel hardware using Google Distributed Cloud on Bare Metal and connects over Starlink. Terraform modules and GitLab pipelines provision clusters; ArgoCD clusters in Google act as admin controllers that push config and addons to each vessel. The system works for consistent developer workflows, though service exposure and some hardware integrations remain tricky.
