Building a Cutting-Edge Kubernetes Internal Developer Platform at NVID... Carlos Santana & Feng Zhou

Building a Cutting-Edge Kubernetes Internal Developer Platform at NVIDIA - Carlos Santana, AWS & Feng Zhou, Nvidia Corp NVIDIA has embarked on an innovative journey to streamline their Kubernetes operations by leveraging the power of Python CDK, GitOps, and various cutting-edge tools. In this session, we will explore why NVIDIA chose Python CDK as their Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool for creating EKS clusters We will examine the implementation of a GitOps mechanism for EKS Fleet Management using ArgoCD ApplicationSets, known as the GitOps-Bridge for Addons. Learn how NVIDIA is onboarding application teams through GitOps, managing Tenant/Namespace ArgoCD Projects, and utilizing Helm Charts for application delivery and centralizing application Helm Charts. The talk will cover the integration of External Secret Operator (ESO) with Vault for secrets management, and how teams are onboarded with GitOps for secure secret management. Additionally, we'll discuss NVIDIA's ongoing experiments with GitOps for AWS Infrastructure using Crossplane, and their future plans to implement Backstage.
