Are you using GitOps to manage increasing numbers of Kubernetes clusters without going insane? Great!
GitOps is widely used to manage 1000s of Kubernetes resources in large numbers of clusters with numerous Kubernetes manifests in Git repositories. These are difficult to handle manually, requiring human approval of 100s of git pull requests.
Better GitOps automation is essential to manage Kubernetes workloads, especially towards 10s or 100s of thousands of Cloud-RAN far-edge clusters. Kubernetes-native automation with operators is well-supported but reconciling Kubernetes YAML manifests in Git repositories is a challenge. That is, until now! Let us introduce you to Porch, which simplifies this process significantly.
Porch allows human-machine collaboration on infrastructure/application configuration data stored in Git, transforming generic blueprints to fully specified deployable packages. This “hydration” process pioneered in Nephio is a novel approach to platform engineering.
