GitOpsCon North America 2022

This talk will cover RingCentral’s current journey and commitment to adopt GitOps and best practices in the AI department. Ivan will share their needs for managing infrastructure at scale, serving the internal developers, implementing progressive delivery such as canary deployments, and managing hybrid clouds. All of these choices benefit the team and RingCentral as a company: money savings, greater security, reliability, faster troubleshooting, and more. This session will cover how the team does this by using a range of tools such as Kubernetes, Flux, Kustomize, Terraform, Istio, Prometheus, and more, as well as some decisions they are making to ensure a Kubernetes-first architecture. The session will include considerations for how the tools are designed, how that helps to drive best practices, and pitfalls to avoid. By enabling both technical and business benefits, the GitOps journey at RingCentral is helping them to focus on innovation, increased velocity, and the company’s success.
