Panel Discussion: GitOps for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Delivery

Explore Akuity’s GitOps for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Delivery → https://akuity.io/blog/gitops-hybrid-multi-cloud-kubernetes?utm_medium=video&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=2026_q2 In this panel discussion, DevOps and platform engineering experts Krzystof, Yousef, and Hong share real-world insights on Kubernetes, GitOps, and scaling modern infrastructure across multicloud and hybrid environments. The conversation covers adoption challenges, tool sprawl, compliance, and how organizations are building reliable deployment patterns at scale. They also explore how GitOps is evolving alongside AI and increasingly complex Kubernetes ecosystems. Key Takeaways - Kubernetes and GitOps adoption in multicloud and hybrid setups is challenged by tool sprawl, fragile pipelines, and increasing operational complexity across distributed systems. - Standardization, observability, automation, and DORA metrics are critical to improving reliability, reducing incidents, and enabling safe, fast deployments at scale. - The future of GitOps is closely tied to AI, enabling more predictive, declarative, and automated SDLC workflows across modern infrastructure.
