Journey Towards Kubernetes From FTP based deployment to K8s GitOps - David Pech, Lukáš Šabľa

In last 3 years, we have done a major technical makeover of 4 e-commerce sites for one of the largest B2B food retailers in CZ and SK. We'll dive into the challenges we faced, including monolithic application constraints, lack of CI/CD pipelines, and limitations of on-premise infrastructure. Through our case study, attendees will gain insights into our strategies for overcoming these obstacles and achieving deployment on Kubernetes in the real CZ/SK IT life.

Introduction to initial setup
Challenges and limitations of monolithic architecture and manual deployment processes via FTP file upload on multiple application servers
Evolution towards a containerized environment and adoption of Docker Swarm
Transitioning from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes for enhanced scalability
Bringing in CI/CD pipelines
Harnessing Kubernetes features for scalability, reliability, and high availability
Lessons learned for migrating to Kubernetes in an on-premise setup
Discussing the real benefits of the approach
