In this video, the Akuity team walks through how to simplify Kubernetes promotions using GitOps principles—without relying on complex custom CI/CD scripts. Through live demos, the session introduces Kargo, a multi-stage promotion tool, and shows how platform teams, developers, and businesses can improve deployment workflows, visibility, and reliability across environments.

The demo covers real-world DevOps challenges, including managing promotions across environments and regions, integrating approvals, and replacing fragmented pipelines with a unified system. You’ll also see how Kargo works alongside tools like Argo CD, Terraform, and Jira to streamline Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes deployments.

Key Takeaways

• Replace fragile custom CI/CD scripts with a flexible GitOps-driven promotion pipeline that improves visibility, consistency, and control across Kubernetes environments.

• Use Cargo to manage multi-stage Kubernetes promotions, enforce policies, and integrate approvals, testing, and verification into a single unified workflow.

• Extend DevOps workflows beyond Kubernetes by integrating Terraform, Jira, and other tools for full-stack deployment automation and governance.
