Unified GitOps for heterogeneous deployment: Bridging Kubernetes and Nomad

In modern platform engineering, orchestrating heterogeneous workloads across Kubernetes and Nomad requires a unified approach to ensure efficiency and scalability. In this session, Kishan Baranwal demonstrates how his team built a GitOps-centric platform to deploy both Kubernetes and Nomad clusters on EC2, using Pulumi for configuration-driven provisioning to create a cohesive infrastructure layer. Baranwal explains how the team used Argo CD and Helm for Kubernetes applications and NomadOps for Nomad job orchestration, all unified under GitOps principles. He also highlights external observability and AI-driven operational enhancements.
