Bedrock

Bedrock provides patterns, implementation, and automation for operating production Kubernetes clusters based on a GitOps workflow, building on the best practices we have discovered in working with dozens of deployments with customers in operationalizing Kubernetes clusters.

Bedrock helps you:

• Define and maintain infrastructure deployments across multiple clusters.
• Deploy and automate a secure end to end GitOps workflow.
• Deploy and manage service workloads from source code to their deployment in-cluster.
• Observe ongoing deployments across multiple services and their revisions and multiple clusters deploying those services.
