Securing Cloud-Native CI/CD with the Dynamic Duo of Tekton and ArgoCD
Wed, 24 April
In this session, we will delve into the increasingly essential world of containerized application deployment using Kubernetes, focusing on the challenges and solutions in managing and securing the CI/CD process. You will learn about Tekton and ArgoCD, two innovative projects that are pivotal in simplifying, automating, and securing CI/CD pipelines.
This talk will provide an in-depth overview of the dynamic duo, illustrating how their integration can significantly streamline the CI/CD process. A special emphasis will be placed on Tekton Chains, showcasing their crucial role in securing the delivery pipeline.
The session will feature a dynamic live demo that will demonstrate deploying new features to a Quarkus/Java game application. This practical example will not only highlight the efficiency and control offered by these tools but also potentially offer an interactive element for the audience.
This talk is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and Cloud Native/Kubernetes practitioners interested in exploring Cloud Native, Serverless CI/CD. It aims to enhance their understanding of how these technologies can improve automation and security in Kubernetes deployments.
Attendees can expect to take away:
- A clear introduction to the capabilities of Tekton and ArgoCD.
- Practical knowledge on deploying applications using pipelines and GitOps.
- Insights into signing tasks in Tekton pipelines for enhanced security.
This session promises to equip participants with valuable skills and knowledge for advancing their CI/CD practices in cloud-native environments.
