• Chapter 2 - Build a GitOps Pipeline with Flux
• Chatper 3 - Encrypt Kubernetes Secrets Using Sealed Secrets
• Chapter 4 - Make Your Cluster a Universal Control Plane with Crossplane
• Chapter 5 - Destroy a DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster with Terraform

In this workshop, you will spin up a DigitalOcean Managed Kubernetes Cluster. You will get a $100 credit for this workshop, and in order to redeem the credit, you will need a DigitalOcean Account.

Once you are logged into your DigitalOcean account, go to the billing page, find the promo code section and enter the code KIM@KCEU100.

Note:
If you have an existing DigitalOcean account that has already used a promo code, we will have to manually add the credits to your account. There are two ways to handle this at the session:

1. Share the email address associated with your account and we will manually apply the code after the workshop
   • send Kim Schlesinger a message in the CNCF Slack and share the email address associated with your DigitalOcean account
2. Create a new account with a different email address.
