Elevance Health has embarked on a multi-year, multi-cloud journey to streamline their Kubernetes operations by leveraging the power of GitOps, and various cutting-edge tools. In this session, we will explore why Elevance Health chose Crossplane as their Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool for creating Kubernetes 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 Elevance Health is onboarding application teams through GitOps, managing Tenant/Namespace ArgoCD Projects, and utilizing Helm Charts for application delivery and centralizing the management of spoke clusters. The talk will cover the integration of other operational tools such as Paralus for User Management and Vault for secrets management, and how teams are on-boarded with GitOps for secure secret management.
