The presentation discusses the challenges faced by a company during hyper growth and how they implemented a solution using GitHub's methodology and Backstage to manage their resources and visualize them in one place.
- The company faced challenges during hyper growth such as lack of alignment, manually managed resources, unknown resource dependencies and ownership, exploding budget, and lack of technical documentation.
- They implemented a solution using GitHub's methodology which emphasizes declarative infrastructure as code, versioning, immutability, automatic deployment pipelines, and continuous reconciliation.
- They also used Backstage, an open platform for building developer portals, to manage their resources in one location, write documentation easily, search for information, use automated software templates, and create self-contained plugins.
- The solution was auditable, declarative, had a single source of truth, was community-driven, self-serve, and provided visibility.
- An anecdote was given about how the GitHub solution detected a drift in a policy and automatically brought it back to its desired state.
- Tags: AI, Cybersecurity, DevOps, GitHub, Backstage, hyper growth, resource management, visualization, automation, documentation, self-serve, community-driven.

Flux is moving towards OCI and container registries without relying on GitOps. The project is split into multiple controllers that can be extended without modifying its source code. GitLab and Orange have joined the Flux ecosystem, and there is an open-source edition called Weave Flux that offers a full-featured web UI for Flux.

Most people are well-aware of the benefits of GitOps for various workflows especially as it relates to Kubernetes deployments - it allows easy integration of approvals, verifiable change history and automation hooks. However, getting users to adopt a different way of working can be challenging - especially if it involves tools and methods that would be convenient for you, the administrator, but inconvenient for the end-user. So, what do you do when your end-users are not directly using Git in their day-to-day work, but you still want to add the benefits of GitOps to your deployments without slowing them down? Simple - you implement GitOps but hide the entire process from them! In this session, Éamon and Heds will take you through how they took an internal Grafana environment that had grown increasingly messy and unreliable due to usage by a rapidly expanding internal team - and transformed it into a repeatable, promotable, process-driven well-oiled machine fueled by GitOps, Kubernetes, Terraform and more - all without the end-users having to learn or interact with Git at all!

The presentation is about using Terraform to create a Digital Ocean managed Kubernetes cluster as part of a GitOps workshop.
- Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that automates provisioning infrastructure resources like VMs, managed databases, firewalls, or Kubernetes services.
- The presenter demonstrates how to create a Digital Ocean managed Kubernetes cluster using Terraform.
- The presenter explains the importance of using infrastructure as code tools in GitOps.
- The audience is given step-by-step instructions on how to set up a Digital Ocean account, configure Doctor, and use Terraform to create a Kubernetes cluster.
- An anecdote is not provided.
