Fidelity’s Move to “Finance Grade” Kubernetes with GitOps
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019 · on Wednesday, 2019-11-20· at 14:25· Exhibit Hall AB - San Diego Convention Center, Ground Level·
summary
Fidelity builds a reproducible, auditable GitOps platform on AWS EKS where a global platform repo tags platform versions and per-cluster repos hold a pointer plus config; a git push triggers Jenkins, artifact storage, an eks-manager that calls eksctl to create/upgrade control plane and nodegroups, and Helm/Flux-driven add‑ons. They use a namespace operator and NS Group CRD for multi‑tenancy, Flux/Helm operator for add‑on lifecycle, and claim hundreds of clusters move from snowflake to reproducible state using Flux and automated tests.
