[Kargo](https://akuity.io/what-is-kargo) on the Akuity Platform runs continuous promotion across environments, gated by the checks you define, with one view of what's shipped and what's still in flight. 💻 In this workshop, you'll learn how to: - Simplify operational oversight with a single, unified Kargo + Argo CD interface that reduces tool sprawl and context-switching - Standardize promotions across your entire stack, including Kubernetes, Terraform, VMs, and cloud services, from one centralized platform - Reduce promotion complexity by eliminating the custom scripts and bespoke tooling that create hidden maintenance burdens Gain clear, end-to-end visibility and control over every stage of your promotion pipeline, from initial commit to production Pre-requisites Please make sure you have the following ready before the workshop: - A local Kubernetes cluster running (k3s, k3d, kind, Orbstack, Docker for Desktop, etc.) with kubectl installed - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started/) installed and running - A GitHub account (or another Git forge — examples during the workshop will use GitHub) - [Kargo CLI v1.12](https://docs.kargo.io/user-guide/cli/installation) installed - An Akuity account signed in (We’ll send access to the Akuity demo environment and sign-in URL 2 days before the event.) - *Optional\** An email account you can use a token for SMTP sending This is an in-person workshop where you will need to bring your computer. Space is limited. We'll follow up by email to confirm your spot. 🍹 Community Happy Hour  Stick around after the workshop for our Akuity Happy Hour from 5:00–7:00 PM at Le Méridien Salt Lake City Downtown (131 S 300 W). It will be a casual evening of networking, drinks, and bites to unwind from the day. Free to attend.  [![Akuity.io](https://landing.akuity.io/hubfs/Akuity-Logo-Color.svg "Akuity.io")](https://akuity.io/)   ## Instructor --- ## Taylor Thomas ### Staff Software Engineer at Akuity Taylor Thomas is a Staff Software Engineer working on the Akuity Cloud Platform.
