Welcome to the Cloud Native Oslo December meetup! Let’s wrap up the year together with inspiring talks, great company, and a cozy meetup atmosphere. ☃️❄️

We would like to thank Variant for sponsoring the meetup and providing the venue 💙

📍 Directions: The event will be hosted at Tollbugata 24, 0157 Oslo, Norway

Nikolai Norman Andersen - Why Secrets Belong in Git

Encrypted secrets that is! The audience will learn about tools and techniques that will enable them to version control secrets alongside the code these secrets belong to. Easily share secrets with new team members and get a full audit log as a bonus. All while following modern security practices.

The session will introduce SOPS and how attendees can use keys stored in secure remote services like Azure Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault to encrypt and decrypt files. Access is easily controlled through the same identity providers they use for other services. The presentation will cover some gotchas to be aware of, but there's no need to be afraid of putting secrets in git!

Fredrik Klingenberg - Kargo as a tool for CI/CD with GitOps

GitOps has become the primary method for managing K8s cluster state—both for platform components and applications. However, GitOps does not provide a standard way to deploy sequentially across environments, such as staging and production. Teams have devised various creative solutions at the expense of reusability across projects and potentially stability.

Kargo, a tool from Akuity (the creators of ArgoCD), aims to solve this problem. Kargo provides reusable, standardized deployment steps, visualizes environments and their versions, and enables sophisticated deployment pipelines. This talk will examine Kargo, its capabilities, and how Flytoget uses it.

Recording will be published on our YouTube channel after the meetup, if applicable: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJV43megnXMoVm5uYeu4NwA
