Learn how to deploy and scale Ollama LLM models on Kubernetes clusters for production-ready AI applications

In this third installment of our Crossplane tutorial series, we are exploring Compositions, probably the most important feature in Crossplane. They allow us to define interfaces (CRDs) and controllers that represent services we can use to enable others to manage resources like databases, clusters, applications, or anything else.

We dive into the challenges faced with Argo CD’s current synchronization strategy. Despite its wide adoption for managing Kubernetes deployments, there are cracks in the system’s design, particularly when it comes to handling sync operations. We’ll explore why Argo CD’s insistence on strong consistency is causing more problems than it solves and discuss how an eventual consistency model could be the game-changer that Argo CD needs to streamline deployment workflows and minimize outages.

In this video, we will take a look at some of the common mistakes that people make when building CI/CD pipelines, and we will show you how Dagger can help you to avoid these mistakes.

Dagger is a set of libraries enable us to write CI (not CI/CD) pipelines in a variety of languages (NodeJS, Python, Elixir, etc.), that can run anywhere (locally, remotely, in other pipeline tools), and that is based on Docker or other container runtimes.

It replaces many of the tasks we normally write in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Tekton, CircleCI, and other remote pipeline solutions.

This YouTube video challenges the conventional wisdom around CI/CD pipelines, arguing that the transition from monolithic applications to event-driven architectures requires a paradigm shift in our approach. Tune in to explore the drawbacks of traditional CI/CD pipelines and discover how embracing event-driven systems can improve the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
