Summary
The previous chapters in this book focused on building out manifests and infrastructure. While we began looking at applications with Istio, we didn’t touch on how to manage their rollout. In this chapter, we moved our focus from building infrastructure to rolling out applications using pipelines, GitOps, and automation. We learned what components are built into a pipeline to move an application from code to deployment. We dove into what GitOps is and how it works. Finally, we designed a self-service multi-tenant platform that we’re going to implement in our final chapter!
Using the information in this chapter should give you some direction as to how you want to build your own platform. Using the practical examples in this chapter will help you map the requirements of your organization to the technology needed to automate your infrastructure. The platform we built in this chapter is far from complete. It should give you a map for planning your own platform...
