Learn how to simplify and automate Kubernetes cluster and application lifecycle management at scale through this 47-minute conference talk. Discover a unified, declarative approach that addresses operational complexity, fragmented tooling, and inconsistent environments using Cluster API (CAPI), ClusterClass, CAREN, and GitOps with Flux. Explore how CAPI standardizes cluster provisioning and upgrades across cloud providers, while ClusterClass provides reusable, templatized cluster blueprints for consistent configurations. Understand how CAREN (Cluster API Runtime Environment) streamlines day-2 operations by orchestrating lifecycle events through composable runtime hooks, and see how combining these tools with Flux GitOps creates a self-managing cluster and application stack that continuously reconciles from source control.
