As we kick off the new year and our release of Shipa 1.5.0, dabbling in the art of the possible, what if it was possible to provide your developers with a single line of configuration to get their ideas into production. Shipa is an application and policy abstraction layer which easily integrates with your DevOps toolchains. In this example, we will show what platform engineering or DevOps teams can create to allow for development teams to only have to make a change to a singular line of YAML to get their ideas into production.

Learn in this Shipa Webinar how to leverage Crossplane to create a GKE Cluster then enforce/manage/deploy an application leveraging Shipa. Similar to the Terraform approach, Shipa and Crossplane can be integrated together. Crossplane can create all of the necessary objects that are needed for Shipa Cloud to be wired into additional Kubernetes clusters. Even if this is your first time using one or both of these platforms, this example is geared towards you.

Imagine yourself as a new developer on a team that has services on Kubernetes. On your first day in the role, you need to figure out aspects of the application running in Kubernetes. The purview you are granted with kubectl or even Kubernetes-centric tools is still infrastructure-centric.

Leveraging Terraform, which is an infrastructure-as-code platform, is a great match. Learn in this webinar the importance and how you can implement an internal developer platform for Kubernetes using Terraform and Shipa.

We are very excited to announce that you can now install Shipa from the SUSE Rancher Marketplace. Installing Shipa On-Prem can now be done with a click-to-install inside of SUSE Rancher. Follow this quick guide to get you up and started with Shipa if you are leveraging SUSE Rancher.

Just behind the Ketch 0.6 Release, Ketch is now available for the first time in the Civo Marketplace. If you are unfamiliar with Civo, Civo is a Kubernetes based cloud provider allowing for the rapid creation of Kubernetes clusters. No matter where you are in the Kubernetes journey, the pairing of Civo and Ketch can allow you to fast-track your Kubernetes learnings or further your developer experience and guardrails with Kubernetes.

Ketch is an open-source framework designed to facilitate the deployment and management of applications in Kubernetes. Ketch leverages a simple command-line interface , and no need for lengthy YAML. In this example, pairing your Kubernetes distribution and Ketch together to show how easy it is to deploy and expose an application.

Learn how you can address enterprise-level requirements across policy enforcement, multi-cluster scalability, developer experience, and more.

Now that you have implemented FluxCD, it's time to get those applications surfaced so your developers can manage and support them better.
