Summary:

In part 2, we introduced the concept of using the Sveltos Event Framework and templating capabilities to dynamically instantiate a Flux HelmRelease based on cluster labels. This blog brings to life the concept of automated Flux HelmReleases using a hub-and-spoke case scenario. We will run a local Kubernetes fleet using KinD, bootstrap Flux, and watch Sveltos automatically generate and deploy Flux HelmReleases based on labels.

Summary:

In part 1 of the series, we explored how Sveltos acts as the main brain for our deployments to a fleet of clusters. However, this is the case when we start with Continuous Deployments (CD) or when we are willing to perform a full migration to a new architecture. The next two posts are dedicated to the collaboration between Flux and Sveltos. Flux remains the core way of deploying applications using the Flux Customer Resource Definitions (CRDs), while Sveltos enters the play when we talk about scalability, automation, and dynamic instantiation of deployments.

Summary:

After many discussions at the KubeCon Europe in Amsterdam, I decided to start a new series covering the most commonly seen scenarios and approaches on how Sveltos and different GitOps Controllers can work together. Sveltos is not a replacement for your GitOps Controller. It is a tool to enhance and extend existing capabilities. When we talk about GitOps Controllers, we primarily refer to either ArgoCD or Flux. In the first part of the series, we will demonstrate how Sveltos fits into the Platform engineering space and, more specifically, in the Continuous Deployment (CD) part. We will provide a commonly seen scenario and explore how Sveltos can control all the deployments.

Summary:

Learn how to use Sveltos to automate the creation of Cluster API (CAPI) clusters on Proxmox using the CAPMOX provider.

Summary:

This is part 3 of the step-by-step guide to creating Kubernetes managed clusters on Azure Cloud using Cluster API (CAPI) and Sveltos! We will give platform teams and seasonal engineers a simple, secure, and flexible way to build Kubernetes clusters.

Introduction​

Are you ready to simplify how your Platform team spins up and down development environments while improving DevX? In this post, we show how Cluster API(CAPI), Sveltos, and Cyclops work together. They automatically create Kubernetes environments. This setup lets developers easily interact with and manage their applications. It is not magic, it is the power of Sveltos combined with the right tooling!
