CfgMgmtCamp - Lander van den Bulcke -- Automating a multi cluster Thanos setup using Terraform
Channel: OpenEvents (Conference Livestreams and Recordings)
Date: 2023-03-02

Deploying a Thanos setup across multiple Kubernetes clusters has quite some moving parts: all the Thanos components themselves, cloud storage buckets, Prometheus instances, Alertmanagers, TLS certificates for the GRPc connections, ... Managing all that can be a chore, but Terraform is an excellent candidate to automate away the complexity. By combining Terraform, K8s operators and a few special tricks, this talk will introduce a way of working where adding a new k8s cluster to your setup is just a matter of applying a terraform module.
