Implementing Preview Environments with GitOps in Kubernetes

Explore the implementation of preview environments using GitOps in Kubernetes in this conference talk. Learn how to create ephemeral environments on-demand for each pull request, enhancing team productivity and release confidence. Discover the benefits of combining Kubernetes with GitOps for rapid resource creation and destruction while maintaining clear code history and infrastructure changes in Git. Dive into the use of Bitbucket Pipelines for Continuous Integration and ArgoCD for declarative Continuous Delivery. Address challenges in deploying preview environments, including secrets management with Sealed Secrets, repository splitting, and resource cleanup to control costs. Gain insights into improving developer experience, managing HTTPS for multi-tenant setups, and leveraging tools like Renovabot for efficient workflow management.
