ArgoCD as the Engine for Brownfield Migration to Kubernetes

Explore how a small platform team successfully migrated to Kubernetes using ArgoCD as the central deployment tool in this conference talk. Learn about the challenges faced, the selection process for CNCF products, and the implementation of existing workflows and features from a legacy platform using ArgoCD, Istio, Helm, KEDA, and Prometheus. Discover a starting point for deploying to Kubernetes, find valuable resources for building a migration path, and understand common mistakes to avoid. Gain insights into enabling developers to self-serve deployments and inspect their services, even with a minimal setup. The presentation covers topics such as requirements gathering, platform building, orchestration, documentation, cluster management, and microservices implementation.
