Feb 26, 2021 gitops automation operations security

Here at CNCN Headquarters we want to make Kubernetes easier for you to use. Jason Skrzypek is working on an environment that uses GitOps (via Rancher Fleet), Loft, Rancher, and Kubernetes to create isolated environments that behave like full clusters. The goal is to enable CNCN community members to participate in the Friday episodes with your own virtual cluster that you can use to follow along.

In today’s episode, he shows off some of what he’s built, and while there are still some bits to finalize, the progress is amazing.
