From GitOps to AIOps: Evolving RBI's Kubernetes Platform with Cross... Gabor Horvath & Ewald Überall

This talk features Gabor Horvath and Ewald Überall from Raiffeisen Bank International as they discuss the evolution of their Kubernetes platform, transitioning from advanced GitOps practices using Argo CD and Kargo to a model that empowers application teams through abstraction and automation. The speakers explore the implementation of centralized multi-cluster GitOps promotions with sharded Kargo pipelines and the capabilities of Crossplane 2.0 for creating resources while ensuring security via namespace-scoped control. They also highlight how AI tools are used to analyze pull requests, evaluate deployment risks, and support safe application promotions, including a live demonstration of MCP integration with Argo CD and GitHub. This session offers valuable insights for platform builders interested in integrating GitOps, infrastructure abstraction, and AI-enhanced automation in regulated environments using open source and CNCF technologies.
