Ephemeral pull request environments with Crossplane, Argo CD, and vCluster.Pro

This talk will explore how to create ephemeral pull request environments as code with Crossplane, a dedicated Argo CD instance, and a vCluster, a Pro Kubernetes cluster—all in less than one minute.

This talk will explore how to create ephemeral pull request environments as code with Crossplane, Argo CD, and vCluster.Pro. A GitOps approach will be used to create the ephemeral pull request environments on-demand with a simply defined Crossplane composition that will create a dedicated Kubernetes cluster. With a dedicated instance of Argo CD,  it will then deploy the current commit of the application being developed for every pull request. All of this will happen in a minute or two. Once the pull request is closed, everything will be automatically cleaned up. No more long waits to spin up a dedicated Kubernetes cluster or being restricted to a single namespace of a shared cluster. And no more overburdened Argo CD instances. Everything is dedicated to a single pull request and completely ephemeral.

Dapr + Score: Crafting and improving your developers experience
This talk demonstrates a practical blueprint between Dapr and Score, where you will see how to deploy any Dapr containerized workloads defined by Score, to Docker Compose, Kubernetes or the Humanitec Platform Orchestrator. You’ll see in action how Dapr (integrated APIs for communication, state, and workflow) and Score (workload specification) smoothly complement each other and how they can pave the way for an end-to-end developer workflow at scale.
