DevOps Denver: Kubernetes for Teams Who Hate YAML

Denver, CO | November 6, 2025 | 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM MT

Overview

Kubernetes is powerful, but let's be honest—most developers dread writing YAML manifests. Deployments, services, ingresses, configmaps, secrets—it adds up fast, and one indentation error can ruin your afternoon.

At this community meetup, Ben Ghazi shared how Codiac eliminates YAML from the developer experience entirely. Attendees saw live demos of deploying and managing Kubernetes workloads without touching a single manifest file.

Thanks to everyone who came out! Great conversations and energy from the Denver DevOps community.
