Imperative to Declarative: Building a GitOps Driven Unified Control Plane at Autodesk - Cole Duclos & Greg Haynes, Autodesk

Autodesk has their sights set on accelerating developer productivity across their engineering organizations. To do so, they are doubling down on standards and building a common deployment platform to relieve their application engineers of the burdensome toil that comes with operating a secure and complaint cloud offering. What started as strategy to embed deployment best practices into a sequence of imperative pipelines has since transformed to a unified control plane strategy – harnessing the power of declarative GitOps. Come join Cole Duclos and Greg Haynes as they discuss Autodesk's evolutional journey from imperative pipelines to declarative GitOps systems as they seek a better future. This talk will cover: * What is a developer platform control plane and what problem does it solve. * What are the benefits of providing declarative interfaces driven by gitops. * What are the pitfalls in transitioning to this declarative design for a large organization.
