Automate with Terraform + Flux + EKS: Level Up Your Deployments - Priyanka "Pinky" Ravi, Weaveworks

GitOps will make your drab, manual deployments faster than the time it takes to order a pizza! Whether you know about bringing GitOps to Terraform, or you’re new to it, this talk covers new features and solutions from actual users of Flux + Terraform. The Kubernetes community has been adopting this solution because it lets you have streamlined and secure deployments, quicker time to market, and more time to concentrate on app development! So this talk demos an actual enterprise use case with Flux, Terraform, Terraform controller, EKS, and other layers that bring enterprise benefits. For newcomers, this talk will give an overview of the underlying technologies that make Flux + Terraform + Kubernetes possible. GitOps takes the deployment out of CI/CD, and the most popular solutions use Kubernetes controllers to do the heavy lifting. Flux-based GitOps ensures that what you’ve defined in Terraform matches the desired state. For existing users of the Terraform Controller, Pinky will show a demo from an actual enterprise user with tools and capabilities that you can try right away: automation, secrets storage, drift detection, cloud-based management, and deployment templates that your developers can use without submitting manual requests.
