This virtual hands-on workshop teaches participants how to build an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) on Amazon EKS using cloud-native tools including Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), kro, and Kargo. Attendees will implement self-service infrastructure provisioning, GitOps-based continuous deployments across multiple environments, progressive delivery with canary rollouts, and automated dev-to-prod promotions. The session also integrates Generative AI with Kiro to accelerate platform and infrastructure code development.
