Completed Day 03 of the 6-Week Kubernetes Workshop Series by CertDirectory.io led by @Tharindu Kalhara . After provisioning our cluster on Day 02, this session was all about taking control through GitOps and automation.
We moved beyond manual cluster management to explore how Git acts as the "single source of truth." This approach ensures our infrastructure is always predictable, versioned, and perfectly synced.
Key Takeaways:
- FluxCD Implementation: Learned how to set up automated pipelines that allow the cluster to "pull" its own configuration.
- Reconciliation & Drift Detection: Understood how Flux keeps the live cluster in sync with our Git repo, automatically fixing any manual changes.
- GitOps Workflow: Shifted from running manual commands to a professional, auditable deployment process.
This session really bridged the gap between basic setup and production-grade operations. Feeling much more confident in handling Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) workloads using these modern DevOps patterns! ?
Thanks to Tharindu Kalhara and CertDirectory.io for another great session!
