## GitOps Environment Promotion With Kargo’s Custom Steps

Thursday | April 9th, 2025 | 9:00 am - 10:00 am PT

Deployments break at the worst times. Promotions get blocked by gaps in your tooling. Incidents spiral because your team is scattered across tools trying to piece together what happened. Sound familiar?

In this 45-minute live session, we'll show you how Akuity Enterprise Kargo has evolved from a Kubernetes-native promotion tool into a universal promotion layer — one that handles any system your delivery pipeline depends on, without custom scripting or tribal knowledge holding you back.

**Register and Learn how to:**

- Extend your promotion pipeline with custom container steps
- Assess release risk before you promote using AI-powered analysis
- Standardize promotion workflows across teams declaratively
- Reduce MTTR with automated, runbook-driven incident response
