In this episode
The Kubernetes ecosystem has a rich set of solutions for various stages of CI/CD. Tools like Flux, Tekton, kpack, Knative, ArgoCD, and more each enable big steps forward in establishing a modern path to production. And yet, the teams and organizations that adopt these tools still struggle with complex, DIY snowflake pipelines. The challenge can be creating and maintaining imperative scripts; orchestrating the flow of information between tools; driving reusability; adopting GitOps practices; and enabling proper separation of concerns.
Cartographer is an exciting new OSS project that elegantly addresses these challenges, providing the backbone for a modern application platform built on top of Kubernetes. Rooted in the concept of declarative supply chain choreography, it focuses on creating composable, reusable roadmaps to drive source code to production. It provides an abstraction layer that facilitates the adoption and integration of existing and emerging CI/CD tools, while clearly delineating developer and operator ownership. It complements the existing ecosystem, filling an important gap to ease use, maintenance, and scalability.
In this talk, we will discuss Supply Chain Choreography as a model for CI/CD and use Cartographer to explore how you can create secure and comprehensive pipelines, sustainably and at scale.
