Using Virtual Clusters for Development and CI/CD Workflows

Do you find namespaces too restrictive? Do you prefer launching a new cluster for each new application but your cloud department lead always complains about the costs? Are you tired of paying for Kubernetes control planes?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then virtual clusters are for you!

See how you can use virtual clusters as a developer, as an operator and as a release/cloud engineer.

Join Kostis Kapelonis, Senior Developer Advocate at Codefresh as he shares the whole story of a commit from the original inception all the way to production via #cicd pipelines and see how virtual clusters can help both developer productivity and cloud costs.
