GitOps uses Git as the “single source of truth” for declarative infrastructure and enables developers to manage infrastructure with the same Git-based workflows they use to manage a codebase. Having all configuration files version-controlled by Git has many advantages, but best practices for securely managing secrets with GitOps remain contested. Join us in this presentation about GitOps and secret management. We'll discuss the pros and cons of various approaches and why the Jenkins X project has chosen to standardize on Kubernetes External Secrets for secret management.

Guest Speaker: Andrea Frittoli

Tekton is an open-source project for building cloud-native CI/CD pipelines and systems. It provides reusable and lightweight building blocks, such as tasks, that embody best practices. Tekton, hosted by the CD Foundation, aspires to be the common denominator in CI/CD.

Tekton gives developers full flexibility in how to set up their workflows. In this episode, we will talk about how to get started authoring cloud-native delivery pipelines; we will dig into the Tekton resources used to implement the CD pipelines that build, release, and deploy Tekton itself.

Today in episode 16 we are tackling the definitions of CI, CD, and CDP from the point of view of Viktor Farcic.  What Is Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD), and Continuous Deployment (CDP)? Why do many mix those practices and why do we change the definitions from one case to another? What is the relation between CI/CD and GitOps? How do those practices change with the shift to Cloud, Kubernetes, and serverless?

In episode 15 we have a special guest that will also be a keynote speaker at our upcoming event cdCON! Tracy Miranda is the executive director of the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) where she leads the mission to improve the world’s capacity to deliver software with security and speed.

It is an exciting time to be in the CI/CD industry. We are delivering more software than ever before and at a rate and scale that we might not have imagined years ago. 15 years ago continuous integration and continuous delivery were not common practices but today they are the key differentiators for every industry, whether you are a releasing a new banking app or a new contact tracing app. Delivering software securely and speed matters to every aspect of modern life.

We have huge opportunities to innovate and advance continuous delivery adoption. Yet there are some challenges which make this difficult to do so. Being a relatively new industry, we often talk at cross purposes about terms and phrases – the same words mean vastly different things to different teams. The landscape is confusing, often impenetrable to newcomers and changing habits to adopt emerging practices sometimes feels overwhelming to teams.

In this talk, we will look at the origins of continuous delivery, how it has evolved to present day and where it is going. We will also talk about the role open source communities will play to make continuous delivery simpler yet more innovative, widespread yet inclusive and faster yet still secure.

In episode 13 we have a special guest that will also present at our upcoming event cdCON! Tune in to discover how Ewelina started her IT journey as a software developer.

Now, as an IT Consultant specializing in CI/CD, she makes sure that her customers' software is being built, tested and released in the best possible way. And, most importantly, that software developers do not hate the process. Being involved in Jenkins Configuration as Code plugin development from the very beginning is one way of approaching that complicated problem. Listen in to learn more about Jenkins Configuration as Code and the journey of creating a plugin for the open source community.
