Session Name: How To Achieve (Actual) GitOps With Terraform and Kubernetes

GitOps might sound like a self-explanatory term, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Many think this just means to store your Infrastructure-as-Code in Git, then have the pipeline run the code, but it is actually much more complicated than that. True GitOps takes the deployment out of CI/CD, and the most popular solutions are using Kubernetes controllers to do all the heavy lifting. So if we can't just store our HCL files in a repository and have that trigger a pipeline, how can we use Terraform in a true GitOps fashion? Let me take you through your options, and show you how to take your Terraform automation to the next level.
