Watch this recording here: https://youtu.be/U2n3oYuIIfc Amazon EKS Anywhere is an open-source tool which helps you create and manage Kubernetes clusters on-premises. EKS Anywhere allows you to manage your Kubernetes clusters in a scalable and declarative manner with the help of GitOps, powered under-the-hood with CNCF Flux. In this session, Dan will share how EKS Anywhere integrates with Flux and uses GitOps workflows to manage the cluster lifecycle.
