GitOps with GitLab: Connect with a Kubernetes cluster

The blog post series explores using GitLab as a GitOps tool, focusing on connecting a Kubernetes cluster with GitLab for efficient deployments and security integrations. It explains the process of setting up a GitLab Agent for Kubernetes, which involves installing a component called agentk into the cluster and establishing a bidirectional communication channel with GitLab through an access token. The series advocates for an Agent-based setup, highlighting its advantages in deployment support, network security, and integration capabilities. It also provides a detailed guide on registering the Agent, configuring it using Terraform, and deploying it into the cluster with tools like kustomize and kpt. Additionally, the post offers insights into maintaining multiple agents for larger setups and demonstrates how to ensure synchronization of Kubernetes resources with GitLab through practical examples.
