Ever hear someone say that Kubernetes is not complicated? It makes Frédéric Harper’s, Principal Developer Advocate at Kubefirst, head spin every time! Getting started is no piece of cake, so this is where kubefirst, a free and open-source tool, comes to the rescue. In this workshop, Fred will show you how to use our CLI to deploy a new Kubernetes cluster in minutes, with the most popular cloud-native tools. We will deploy a new cluster locally using k3d & Docker (see prerequisites), and we will explore its pieces. Since your new cluster is already fully functional, we will discuss the GitOps principles with your new "source of truth repository”, use Terraform with Atlantis, add a new user using HashiCorp Vault, surf the Argo CD sync waves, and master the magic steps to deploy a new application in the cloud. You can't miss this, we'll have some K8s fun! 

Fred, what are you preparing for, meet me here
