In this episode of GitOps Monthly, Jesse Suen (Co-Founder & CTO at Akuity, Co-Creator of Argo + Kargo) and Brad Schmidt (Principal Platform Engineer at JumpCloud) walk through how JumpCloud scaled from a single production environment to multi-region deployments with Kargo. You’ll learn: - Why JumpCloud adopted Kargo on top of Argo CD + Argo Rollouts - How Kargo simplifies continuous delivery and promotion across environments - The challenges of scaling CI pipelines vs. GitOps-based promotion - Real-world metrics: 48% faster deploys + 45% shorter lead times - A live demo of manual vs. auto promotion in JumpCloud’s Kargo pipeline ⏱️ Timestamps: 02:20 – What is Kargo? Why it exists + how it works 08:47 – JumpCloud case study: scaling from single env → multi-region 10:59 – Challenges with pipelines + why Kargo was chosen 15:13 – Pilot results + metrics (deploy frequency, lead time) 18:36 – How JumpCloud implemented Kargo (Helm, onboarding, RBAC) 27:00 – Demo: manual vs. auto deployments, Cargo UI, gating logic 41:02 – Future plans: Terraform promotions + self-managing Kargo 46:11 – What’s next with Kargo in Akuity’s enterprise platform 📚 Helpful Resources: Get an Akuity Demo: https://akuity.io/get-in-touch Read More About the Case Study: https://medium.com/jumpcloud-engineering/kargo-at-jumpcloud-a366a14e6ac1 #akuity #kargo #jumpcloud #argocd #gitops #kubernetes #cloudnative #devops #casestudy
