Welcome to the third and last part of this series on how to get a GitOps cluster in 20 minutes with Civo. The first article was about preparing for the magic to happen, and creating a production-ready management cluster with multi-cluster support. In the second one, we explored a little of the new cluster you created, and all its tools so you don’t navigate in unknown water. In this blog post, I’ll guide you toward some ways you can customize your new cluster, going from GitOps, to using our beautiful interface.

Welcome to the second part of this series on how to get a GitOps cluster in 20 minutes with Civo. The first article was about preparing for the magic to happen, and creating a production-ready management cluster with multi-cluster support. In this blog post, I’ll guide you toward some of the main pieces of your new Kubernetes platform, so you slowly get to know the features, benefits, and power of kubefirst. Without further ado, let’s jump right in the heart of the subject.

So you need to create a new Kubernetes cluster with all the (useful) bells and whistles like a Continuous Delivery (CD) tool, something to manage the applications’ secrets, and much, much more just to be able to deploy your application. We hear you, it’s a question of days, probably weeks even if you have the proper experience, and did exactly this before. Do not worry, we got you covered with kubefirst: you’ll be able to create a new management cluster with physical and virtual cluster management capabilities in only 20 minutes. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to know how.

I promised it to you, and it’s here: DigitalOcean is out of beta, which means it’s production-ready based on the high standards of the Kubefirst team! Not only that, it is the second cloud with full support for cluster lifecycle management of both physical and virtual Kubernetes clusters.

There's a new team emerging in your nearby cloud native software shops - the platform team - and their practice is placed squarely in gap between Infrastructure as Code and the Internal Developer Platform that's being built to support software delivery at scale.
