This talk shares insights into building a fully automated, GitOps-based Kubernetes as a Service platform for a telecom provider using only open-source tools. The speaker discusses the challenges encountered and lessons learned throughout the process, including the selection of key open-source projects such as ClusterAPI and ArgoCD.
