Webinar
From CI to Kubernetes Catalog: A Practical Guide to vCluster and GitOps
May 13, 2025 | 08:00 AM PDT (UTC-7)
Join us for a Complimentary Live Webinar Sponsored by vCluster
Modern platform engineering requires more than just Kubernetes – it’s about building a cohesive ecosystem that supports developer autonomy and operational scalability. In this session, we’ll walk through how to build a self-service Kubernetes catalog using Helm, GitOps, and vCluster, while integrating CI pipelines and composable infrastructure tools like Terraform, Helm, Kro, Kratix, etc. Learn how to connect these components into a seamless platform experience that’s ready for real-world, day-2 operations.
Topics we’ll cover include:
- How can you build a Helm-based catalog that empowers teams to deploy services on their own?
- What does it mean to “compose” infrastructure using tools like Terraform, Kratix, and Score?
- How does label-based deployment work in Argo CD, especially across multiple vClusters?
- How can Go-based templates and CI pipelines generate deploy-ready manifests for GitOps?
- What does a fully integrated GitOps workflow look like from CI to production?
