From application code to deployment: Automated building, Gitops and beyond. From a customer question to a fully working solution. With Gitlab, ArgoCD and Kubernetes.


In this talk i will explain the story about a customer that wanted to do "somewhat of a automated release of software" ;-)

  • Why do customers need this?
  • Possible new ways of building and releasing software
  • The application pipeline: More than only building software
  • What is Gitops?
  • The Gitops pipeline: This is where the magic happens.
  • What can be improved
  • Lessons learned in the field

After that, i will demonstrate a application release from code to deployment in testing, staging and production environments.

Michael started with Linux when he was 9 years old. After working for several MSP's, and thus working with Windows, he was sick and tired of clickops. He changed jobs and devoted his professional work to solely Linux. He is working as a consultant at AT Computing and is mainly focussed on Kubernetes, containerisation of applications and "Gitops".
