Declaratively Managing Apps in a Multi-Cluster World

Explore declarative app management across multiple Kubernetes clusters in this 56-minute CNCF webinar. Dive into the open-source app-operator and chart-operator tools, which build upon Helm to offer platform teams a declarative approach for managing applications in cluster fleets. Learn about the benefits of using simple Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for various use cases, and understand the industry shift towards treating clusters as commodities. Discover new tools, different approaches, and the advantages of declarative management at the container, application configuration, and application bundle layers. Gain insights into goals such as maintainability and operating patterns, and explore concepts like catalogs, custom resources, and operators. Watch a demonstration of the App UI and deployment process, and learn about future plans for these tools. Presented by Fernando Ripoll, Solution Engineer at Giant Swarm, this webinar covers topics including introduction, agenda, industry shifts, declarative approaches, custom resources, operators, catalogs, metadata, configuration, and concludes with a Q&A session.
