Description

Keynote: Everything as Code: Declarative Application Delivery with GitOps Workflows- Christian Hernandez, Red Hat

Modern tools are a key component to building a successful application delivery framework based on the GitOps principles. Combining the advantages of Tekton, ArgoCD, and now StackRox open source projects, deliver security without compromising the quality or speed and encourage security, SRE, and application development teams to get declarative. Join us to see an example framework for what it means to really deliver everything as code.

A

Again, my name is christian hernandez. I am a senior technical marketing manager at red hat, probably one of the longest titles. I think I ever hear anyone say um and um red hat is a uh diamond sponsor for get ops con. So um you know we we decided to do one. We did these t-shirts. So if you, um if you want one of these t-shirts, open get ups, um it's out in the front in the booth, so um go ahead and grab one of these t-shirts. They're limited run.

A

um So we only did this for this specific conference so, like you, can't buy these anywhere after so um and there's there's like very limited. I didn't expect this. Many people out so um go ahead and grab your shirts, and um what I wanted to talk about today is um this is a very long title, but it's essentially everything as code and using open source software, essentially for all your getups.

A

So for those of you who are in la, I hope some of you were there um if you weren't, I did a talk there talking about pipeline as code where you know get ops traditionally and um when you first started right for those of you who you know are using flux very early on um focus really all on the cd aspect of of um of ci cd get ops and um where pipeline has code, um which is like a concept that what they talk about at tecton but like if you're using github actions right.

A

That's that kind of that idea where you have the declarative, ci process. um I did a talk there about incorporating that, as as part of your your get ups um uh journey, and now I want to talk about like that next step, right, the the next step that you know the um the co-chairs here were talking about. Like you know, what's what's you know what's next and what else can I bring into the get ops environment? So um this is a lightning talk, um so I have five minutes and we are behind.

A

So I only have one slide so um and um essentially I wanna.

A

Essentially, I want to talk about just everything as code and everything declarative and everything in a process where you can use open source software and um projects that red hat are, um is contributing to upstream to bring that into the enterprise, essentially um and so, and then by extension, and we give that back to the community where again, where the ci process starts um that declaratively last time I spoke at uh get ups con in in la talking about you, know, techton right, using uh um red hat is a big contributor to techton and using that as the cloud native ci system um for uh for our kubernetes offering- and this here is um that first part and kind of like something I already covered right.

A

But I think I'll just like talk about that again as having those github action type of um of process inside your own, like you know, inside your own infrastructure and having that um be part of that whole declarative, git, ops, picture of your environment- um that is just one part of it right, there's also other parts of it where the cd aspect of it red hat again, is all in on argo, cd, using argo cd for that reconciliation right.

A

Do you know how to use argo city of using flux that you know that that same idea applies right, you're having that um contin um that fourth principle right? You have a tool there. That's always reconciling those, and then um you know that is you know. Either doing you know, pushing the configurations or um you know, applying them locally.

A

If it's running on cluster for your cd aspect of it, um and then you have the compliance right, so stack rocks something that is monitoring your all your images, something that's um that is always um taking care of the compliance aspect of it, and it's really like that compliance as code right that people were always talking about, um and that is something that should also be part of this whole tool chain um and then really, last but not least, um talking about open cluster management.

A

um That is a brand new sandbox project at the cncf based on red hat's. Acm is based on open cluster management right, which is basically what is treating your clusters as cattle right or, um as I think, dan likes to call it. um Dan has um infra as apps right I like to call it cluster as cattle, but you have you manage the life cycle of your clusters, declaratively as well, right and you're.

A

Having all these tools working together, open cluster management also has hooks into infrastructure as code traditional infrastructure as code tools, specifically like ansible right. So, like you know, living outside, you know kind of your non-declarative things. You can still kind of manage those declaratively right um if you're just managing vms, for example, um using that declarative aspect of it. So really you know. Last time I talked about um in la I talked about infra, I'm sorry pipeline as code.

A

You know we did everything. You know we have the star as code right like you know, you know, that's almost becoming a thing right if it isn't already like infrared code pipeline as code.

A

Now, really it's like everything as code right, so we're we're now getting to that aspect of um declarative environments in your whole stack right and um you can now just do it all with open source tools which, uh before you know it.

A

It was just like a bunch of scripts that we would hobble together, um bash scripts or you know what have you I used to do, corn back in the day, um but now it's like all declarative, and then we have this this common platform like kubernetes, to be able to do um that entire process. So um that being said, I know we're behind. I only had like five minutes. I wanted to catch everyone up again. A reminder.

A

um Second track is directly upstairs right, so those are you staying in track. One stay here track. One is here track. Two is upstairs check the schedule, the schedule, if you click on the talk that you want, it will tell you what room right. We are in um pavilion, 3, room e, so that's this room and then the joaquin, I believe the other one is joaquin. I forget what it's called room is upstairs juaquin rodrigo.

A

Okay. So again, thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed get ops con and um I hope to talk to you all out there thanks.
