Build production-ready CI/CD and GitOps workflows by combining GitLab pipelines with Helm, Kustomize, Flux, ArgoCD, and Kargo in Kubernetes-focused delivery scenarios.
This training provides a comprehensive introduction to modern CI/CD practices and offers a deep, hands-on exploration of GitLab's CI/CD architecture. Participants learn how to design, build, and operate GitLab pipelines from foundational concepts to advanced, modular structures.
The course then extends into the cloud-native delivery ecosystem, highlighting Helm, Kustomize, GitOps operators such as Flux and ArgoCD, and the emerging Kubernetes-native release manager Kargo. By the end of the training, attendees understand how these components fit together in real-world workflows and can build complete, production-ready CI/CD and GitOps pipelines.
