About The Project

The product owners are all about the new buzz word: GitOps! For this assignment, you will need to create a new Kubernetes cluster on AWS, deploy a monitoring tool using Helm chart and go everything the GitOps way.

The end goal, provide a demonstration on how you are committing a code in your source control and the changes will be deployed to the infrastructure without manual intervention.
